I recently made the move to complete my 9mm Glock Family (17, 19 & 26) by purchasing a cute little Glock 26 with the extended barrel, which is a Bar-Sto.

Man this barrel sure has a tight chamber ; it won't chamber anything else than new factory ammunition, anything reloaded won't chamber (and it's jamming the gun solid), even if it is well within specifications (my loaded rounds all pass the Dillon chamber check).

The reloaded rounds seems to rub in the chamber because of a little 'bulge' near the case head (probably caused by the radiused sizing die mouth of the progressive press). I've tried screwing the sizing die down a bit to the point it's touching the shellplate, but there's still that little 'bulge' that prevents chambering in the Barsto barrel.

Any tips to help me out on this matter?

Yeah get a lone wolf barrel. Barsto = Ultra tight match barrel.
 
PoFF, add a step to your reloading process by using a Lee Factory Crimp Die. If this doesn't solve the chamber/reload problem call Irv Stone at Bar-Sto. Regards, Richard:D


:agree: The factory crimp die will solve that problem, if there are no problems chambering factory ammo, and the OAL is within spec. Coincidently, how does it shoot?
 
Me too

I have a BarSto match barrel for my S&W 4006, and I have a Lone Wolf barrel for my Glock17.
Both are/were jam city with ammo. It does have something to do with the sizer and repeated sizing does swage some brass down to the base. Once you see a concentric ring around the base, the case is junk.
Anyway, I surmised that both barrels chambers were too tight. And I don't shoot factory. I obtained some 620 grip fine metal sandpaper and went to work polishin their respective chambers.
Seems to have cured the jaming.

Looking for a Colt Official Police revolver. Prohibs are okay. PM if you have one.
