You actually void your Glock warranty by shooting reloads in it due to the unsupported chamber. If you are using full power loads and hit on an old piece of brass with a weak spot that ends up right on the unsupported area of the chamber, KABOOOM.
I run reloads but I limit the brass to 4-5 loadings and use reduced loads. |

I reload for every caliber i have and i also CAST LEAD boolits for every caliber even rifles . and after 57 years im still going strong no lead poison here. and i can cast 1000 40 s&w 175grtc for $20. lube with lee alox and I've never had a lead fouling problem EVER. i use 4.3gr of clays on the 175grtc. i even load lead in my 223 25/06 30/06 308 45/70 and 220 swift. i just started to make my own brass jacketed bullets (swagging), here is a site you may want to check out before you start to judge on my choices ( as you read this your thinking this guy is stupid). you never know you may start doing it

interesting stuff Travis...i aint judging you or callin you a liar...
ive shot lead a few different times...probably not near the care you take with yours and lubed well etc...and i rather have copper fouling over lead any day...from what ive seen. and, i run into feeding issues when running it through my pistols after a while on the range... i really dont feel like messing with casting...i got more hobbies than i can keep up with right now lol...but one day i wouldnt mind casting for the flintlocks atleast.. |

Perhaps so, but the Glock guidance has as much to do with a known design parameter of their product and not just to protect themselves from incompetent or distracted reloaders. I would NEVER reload random range brass for a Glock, I always start with once-fired cases obtained from other people using my personal range.

This is one of the few reasons I wouldn't own a Glock.
My XDm .40 loves all the reloads I throw at it. |

I have loaded new brass up to 5 times, and fairly certain it would last much more in glock21 |
I've shot at least 2000 of the Rainier's between my 45 and 357, no problems. Good bullet at a good price. Would I depend upon them for defensive loads, no but for practice an making holes in paper, oh yea.
