You won't save any money but you will get to shoot more. The savings on rifle ammo is a good bit more than pistol ammo. In most cases the ammo will be higher quality. Dillon equipment has a forever NO BULLSHIT warranty . Reloading is not for everyone. Ok I'm done.

Maybe that works.

NJC. The 40 you shoot. Is it a glock?
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
I have glocks and H&Ks in 40
Also looking to shoot .45ACP but primarily .40 for now...
SO yes Dale, it is , why ?

Glock 40's have an unsupported chamber. As I understand it their is a risk of a case rupture that is higher with reloading a glock with the stock barrel.Originally Posted by NJC
I don't own any .40 guns so I don't have first hand, but I am sure someone can enlighten us on the real issue.

Dale, this has been a known issue with Glocks in .40 for years. There is a very small part of the chamber right above the feed ramp that iwas unsupported. I am not sure if it is still so in current Glock generations.
Indications would be "smiley" faces on the base of the brass near the rim. REally in my understanding all you have to do is watch the cases and not load cases with smileys too hot.

I've not had any issues in some 15 years loading for the G22/G35. Glocks are not the only pistols with partially unsupported chambers. I still think it's a reloading error more than the chamber itself.
There have been improvements from what I understand.

Let me know if/when you get into the .40S&W reloading scene... I'll see if I can hook you up with some free brass if you need it.

My G22 has literally thousands of rounds of reloads through it and I have never had a problem. I don't roll my own though I smoke Georgia Arms reloads almost exclusively.

Two thoughts:
1) Ask Kevin Mock (at the range) I worked up a load for his .40S&W that is definitely into the 10MM realm. And have reloaded that brass several times now. No smilies to speak of.
2) I agree with Bob 100%. But if you get or have smileys it is not the end of the world . . or your brass. There is a thing made by most of the die companies called a "push thru base sizing die". Here is the Redding version:

I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.
