An aside from the staff...

There is a certain breed of doofi who read the stories of durability and torture tests...

As a moderator of this forum, I would like to recognize and thank Mr. Watters for using the correct plural of doofus, which is of course doofi and not the more commonly found doofusses. We here at Amback's TGZ Forum strive for accuracy and appreciate the effort to "get things right" where it really counts.

I'm glad Charlie has confirmed the reasoning I've used to justify continuing to reload .40 for Glocks. I see no significant bulging of the brass either in factory loads or my reloads. Some of my brass has been reloaded 6 or 7 times (I keep careful track), and I usually scrutinize my brass very carefully, inside and out. I assumed I would reach a point where the brass looked like it should be tossed, but I've yet to see any difference between this brass and once-fired brass from factory loads in my .40 Glocks.

I assume it helps that I do not load to maximum, use bullets less than 180 grains, use a firm taper crimp, use jacketed or plated bullets only, and keep my chambers very clean.

I suspect I also may have chambers that have less metal removed than others, as Charlie noted he has observed
