After 4 pages of posts, and a conversation that's gone beyond the topic, people still chime in about the original question. OP had the answer on Post #5. It seems that the holier than thou, high posting count crowd chimes in when they like, followed by those who never bothered to read the thread.
No response needed, as you both bore me.

Anyone that doesn't know how to setup a primer has no business reloading or touching guns.

Whenever someone starts talking of reloading for a Glock, the chamber issue is completely relevent and typically arises.
You prompted the unsupported chamber discussion by the inferrence that it had no bearing on "normal" loads. It certainly does, if that "normal" load is in a case fired a dozen times.
If you are uncomfortable with your ignorance being educated, you may elect to push back from your keyboard and not make it evident to those that know better. Other people need to understand these things if they are going to reload safely.

Nope. The only semi I own is a G23. I'm more of a long gun guy though I did just get a nice deal on a Taurus 627 Tracker Titanium 41Mag as a backpacking sidearm. Somehow the G23 never seemed enough in grizzly country.

But I decided to nip it in the bud and just get a bar sto bar match barrel. That way I can shoot until the brass cracks if I want.

[QUOTE=bigcountry;3600554]Bottom line is, you have an unsupported part of the case. Thats means, load at your own risk. i load starting loads with my G21 and use +P starline brass. For months, I took notes with a micrometer measuring any expansion. I am sure I could go more.

There is no set number of loadings. As bigcountry said, it's at your own risk. I load down away from max pressure, closer to minimum loads, and toss them after what is a very small number of loadings for straight-wall pistol brass.
I don't shoot reloads for self-defense, which is the only time I need full power ammo, and the POI is close enough. So no need to worry about it to me as I get enough free brass.
