Bulged cases that are again fired in an unsupported chamber may fail if enough of the original bulge again aligns with the unsupported area.
Lee makes a so-called "Bulge Buster" die that claims to reset the bulge and I will not dispute that.

Here is a cut and paste from the Lee instructions for the "Bulge Buster":
"Do not use the Bulge Buster Kit to reload for the
40 S&W Glock or similar guns with chambers that
do not fully support the cartridge due to the
intrusion of the feed ramp"
The truth is until yesterday I had never seen a 9mm case with a bulge on only one side. I've seen plenty that had the "belt" completely around the rim but never any 9mm that was "Glocked".
It's common knowledge about 40sw fired from an unsupported chamber but this 9mm deal is a new one on me.
And in case there is any question if in fact these were reloads they were not mine.
