Agree,Glocks have loose tolerances in their chambers,Thats why they feed anything.I for one would toss em out and buy new brass.

It is a tool that sizes the cases full length between two parallel plates - the case drops down and one plate moves parallel to the stationary plate rolling the case against it - the case reaches the end of the plate and drops into a bucket - recycling the moving plate in the opposite direction, another case drops down and the cycle repeated - you can roll about 20 cases per minute. I use one a friend has - kind of expensive ($400 ??).

Its expensive for sure, but educational non the less. I have never heard of the device.

CBC is Magtech and it is very high quality brass. The problem is you don't know how badly it has been abused before you got it. Garbage like A-Merc and the various Norinco headstamps are dangerous to reload even once, but even high quality brass can be innocently overworked in the .40 S&W. I have loaded thousands of rounds of heavily utilized .40 brass for my Glock 35 and have had only a few pieces of otherwise quality brass that end up looking like yours in the pic. It's simply the price you pay when loading this cartridge. (Keep in mind that the vast majority of my reloads are .40 Minor for USPSA Production Division.)

If this is happening on a regular basis, then you have a problem which needs to be diagnosed and corrected.

we do a lot of reloading of all cal. and the only way we get a case like that is for the case to be out of alignment with the fl sizing die . maybe shell plate is for a 9mm or dirt in the grooves. Glenn Brady

Glenn I am sure it is the cases this time. I loaded 400 this morning, only had 3 bad ones. The thing is the ones that are good look darn near perfect as far as smooth and shiny, plus using the digital calipers shows uniform sizing. Its still great to get everyones ideals on the forum. You can just about bet someone on here will give you an ideal that fills the bill with solutions to try....thanks
