I have several hundred once fired winchester 40S&W brass that i want to reload, these were fired in the Glock22 during our qualifying. I am familiar with the case bulge situation that the glocks cause but my question is can these be reloaded to use in another firearm? I loaded a dummy round (no powder, no primer) and it looks like my resizing die took out the bulge, best I could tell. Also, if they can be safely used how many times can they be loaded before i discard them? Trying to stay safe because I have read so much on the net that seems to be trying to discourage reloading 40's.

Check your reloaded rounds in a case gage; if they chamber in it you should be fine.

I use a lot of range brass in 40 S&W. I found the egw u die works miracles. My Dillon die did not go down far enough.
