I just read this on an ad for Lee dies;
Warning: Do not use reloads in Glock or similar guns with chambers that do not fully support the cartridge due to the intrusion of the feed ramp.
I have a Springfield 40 cal XDM, will I have a problem?

Newer Glocks have tighter chambers....no more "glock bulge".
It really wasnt a big problem with early glocks either....reloader error was the problem...not the pistol
No...you wont have a problem...you wont with any Glock over gen 2 either.

While I'm really not much of a pistol guy, the problem as I understand it, is that there are supported and partially supported/unsupported barrels; the Glock Bulge in brass is a result of firing in an unsupported barrel. There are dies available to "iron out" the Glock Bulge, among them is one called appropriately enough, "The Bulge Buster"

Problems with 40cal are way overblown! The issue started with a gun writer with a grudge against glock. An article was written and then repeated by others, and then repeated in forums like this one. Pretty soon second gen glocks were seen as hand grenades ready to blow up and kill or injure everyone holding one.
I've been reloading my gen 2 fired glock brass over and over with no issues. Have my fingers, hands, and eyes. Only case failure I have had was a 45acp seperation, and that was in a 1911.
