I had posted a link to a video just as a informational piece. I had never thought much of the bulge situation as I had sold my Glock 22. The post is here:

But then I decided to check on reloading 40SW that had been bulged. I have buckets of 40 SW brass so I pulled out some with the bulge and tried to fit them in my Sig (sorry
) I then ran them through my Lee carbide dies. The brass gets ironed out on the full sizer die and fits just fine after the Factory crimp post sizer die.
I guess the problem is if the same brass is used again and again in a unsupported chamber and would get weak over time. After firing the brass in a supported chamber I do not see a problem with using the brass unless I am missing something?? I guess I am saying, why bother with the technique in the video??
Here are some pics of the brass not fitting and then fitting my Sig barrel.
Two Remington and Two Winchester 40 SW
