I most of my 9mm brass is all glock brass i picked up while using the range guns at our club, i know glock brass has a tendency to bulge as long as i full length size will i have any issues with this brass in my CZ 75b? if not what can i do to make it ok?
 
The unsuppported chamber of the Glock allows brass to bulge as you mentioned.
Repeated reloading would likely lead to metal fatigue and case rupture with the resultant pictures and story on CGN about the KABOOM.
When I was buying Glocks for our department, it was made clear to us that Glock would not warranty any Glock that used reloaded ammunition.
I've been out of the Glock loop for some time, but I doubt that has changed.

repeated reloading, after repeated shooting out of a glock?, would cause metal fatigue?.
once fired brass from a glock, sized then shot in other pistols (cz/sig/etc) would be ok?. i think is what he's asking.

you should have one anyway they're great ;). i'm waiting on this post as well for the awnser, it even says in the lee manual not to reload for glocks.

but i do also want to know if i can reload brass used in a glock for other firearms, or is the brass ruined by the glock?, and deemed unsafe for further reloadings?.
 
There is absolutely nothing wrong with brass from a glock. Especially 9mm. It is more the .40 cal that would show any bulging if any. I have been reloading for my g17 with no issues whatsoever. The cases do not bulge unless you are using really hot loads. I have no issues reloading this brass and using it my other pistols.
 
ok this is what i was figuring because when i was inpecting brass fired from a G22 and a G17 the bulge was instantly obvious on the 40 casing but not on the 9mm casing...

sorry i forgot to specify in the lee 2nt-ed only under the 40s&w do they say not to use reloads for glocks, nothing under 9mm.

hope you got the information you were looking for :).

I have been reloading for my Glock 22 for the past 18 years, and I never have had a issue with the "Glock bulge".... Glock is not the only firearm with an unsupported chamber and this claim of Glocks "blowing up" had gotten out of hand....Glock is one of the most widely used handguns in North America so, of course, you hear more about it`s alleged problems....The vast majority of these blow up reports come from people who reload, and that brings into question how they reload for the Glock....Consider; how many of these people reloaded their ammo to hot, hot pressure`s?....How many reload brass beyond it`s safe use? ie; too cheap to replace the brass after so many reloadings (lets face it. Reloaders are cheap bastards)...And there`s another simple fact at play here...How many want to actually admit that they made a mistake in their reloads?....It`s embarrassing and it also makes you look like fool....I will continue to support Glock as long as some people claim that it`s a small tactical nuclear device waiting to detonate....:)
