What To Do

[Helixxx]

Here's the story

Once upon a time I hade a JR Carbine in .40 Cal, I then bought a Glock 22 so I would have some commonality of ammo

The JR Carbine is sold and the Glock is up for sale

I have 1450 rounds of Custom Reloading .40 cal with 180 gr projectiles that make major in IPSC

I also have an STI Edge in .40 cal that needs a longer round than Custom Reloading, 1.17" vs 1.12"

What should I do?

1. Sell the ammo as it is?
2. Tap each round in my bullet puller and reset the correct length in my press?
3. Completely pull the bullets, salvage the primed cases, projectiles and powder and reload from scratch

Opinions please

Ask Custom if you can trade the short ones for longer ones.

unless i'm to drunk, i don't see why you would have to make them longer? 40 head spaces on the rim, not the bullet.

Buy something cool in .40 (like a single stack 1911 to shoot 'Classic') and use the ammo.

For some reason the STI doesn't feed the shorter rounds, not just mine, it seems to be a general thing

I have a number of guns in 40. The Norinco 85 magazine is noticeably shorter than the other makes and requires bullets to be seated quite a bit deeper.

Do you know anyone with a Norinco 40? You could make his day.
