Reloading .40 Bulged brass?

[colt45er]

I bought some onced fired brass online in .40 S&W and noticed that some of the brass is bulged all the way around the case.

Is this a problem to reload?

I will be shooting the reloades from an xd and and xdm.

Size it and see what it looks like.

Also I can't verify it but I was told not to reload once fired that came from a Glock.
I don't know why just what an old reloader guy told me once. I guess you can identify it by the oblong strike on the primer.

Like I said Glock guys don't flame me I am just passing on what I was told once.

Try to size it and see if fits in your chamber or case gauge...
Redding is now making a sizer to get rid of the bulge that regular dies can't.

I've reloaded .40 glock shot brass a few times, but I'll toss or leave them after that.

The EGW U-die sizes down farther on the case than normal dies - they get rid of the glock "bulge".

i have had some cases that were like what you are describing, i just sized them and they have been fine out of my xd, i guess that glock dont have a fully supported case and they swell some when they are fired

I have reloaded many .40 with some bulged cases and havent had any problems. I dont load my target .40s hot so that helps by keeping pressure down and I use a Lee die set that sizes the whole case which removes the bulge.

I have loaded and shot some hot .40s (155gr JHPs chrono'd at 1200 +/-5fps out of my G23) with no problem, but I only use once fired winchester brass that looks good.
