My poor glock and my bloody hand!

Ouch, 12g is a lot of powder (is that's a 9mm?). Someone was very careless, or should one say reckless.

...
..and the winner is a Double charge of 231 at 12 grains The best part is i didn't make the ammo and i never bother checking
...
Well, at least the slide still lives. Never did find the trigger.

On the bright side you can get a Gen 4 now

 

[burnaby]

Too bad neither Dillon nor Hornady has a reasonable priced 6 station AP press (1050 is not in my price range). Would like to have decap, flare, powder, lock-out, seat, crimp stn.

Sound advice above
my dillon 650 rocks a powder check system. Get it up ya.

Somewhere the ABCs book states clumsy, drunken folks should NOT reload.

I also found out that reloading while watching the hockey play-offs, is not a good idea.

 

[blaxsun]

tried to clear a jam, instead of pulling from the rear(as you should), but it would not budge, so i grabbed further up the slide, covering the ejection port with my hand to get a better grip, and free it.

DONT DO THAT!

Yeah i needed a few bandaids. Finger is still broken at the tip, nerves are still not healed, nerves are strange. They dont seem to heal like skin. There was bits of brass lodged in there, that worked their way out for weeks.

Was this a misfire or something? (and I gather it went it off while you were trying to clear the jam?) O-u-c-h!

Don't need 6. Dillon is:
1- decap/ full length
2- Flare/ powder throw
3- Powder check
4- Seat
5- Crimp

Only difference from what you stated is it flares and dispenses powder in the same step. Pretty standard I thought.

I just remembered I got 250 9mm reloads with a gun from a noob I bought last week.

good luck lol

Did you check your hand? Every time I think about getting into reloading I seem to find one of these threads... Glad you're ok, though!

same here.

 

[mr00jimbo]

Yikes! Glad you're okay, though, minus the hand.
I buy reloads from a professional reloader who's been doing it for years, but I think he has more of an automatic system set up. So far, so good *knock on wood*.

I wonder if Glock will hook you up with a discount frame/lower assembly.

 

[skoal]

Dam dude that sucks! It could have worse though

what exactly do you need the sixth station for?
you flare and fill with powder in the same station (number 2)


station one is decap and resize. coming down it rotates and primes at the bottom of station two.
station two flares the case mouth and fills with powder
station three is your lock out die
station four is seating die
station five is crimp


you can use a lock out die and a bullet feeder if you seat/crimp in station five.

Yeah went off while clearing the gun from a jam. The gun kept dropping the tip of the bullet down while loading the next round. It would lock up super tight, and with the already super heavy 10mm spring, a large ammount of force was needed to get the slide to clear.
The firing pin assmby was gummed up, and IMO the firing pin stuck while i pulled back on the slide, and went off. With the slide locked back about an inch.

I still reload

Was it a Glock? Man, that must've hurt like a b*tch... The only jams I've had were on my G19 when I upgraded the extractor assembly to the White Sound Defense "High Reliability Extractor Depressor" (the irony here is not lost on me). A vice and mallet was required twice, and the third time I had to disassemble it by removing the rear back plate. Turns out the problem was the extractor is installed opposite the standard factory Glock one. Runs like a Timex now...

I still reload

I think I'll live vicariously through you...

 

[jdman]

no, a auto ordnance 10mm.

Didnt hurt much......at first.Went numb, and has never stopped being numb.

My pinky that is.

 

[agilent_one]

Glad you're OK. I have no plans to stop reloading, but these incidents serve as a good reminder to keep the QA/QC in check and not get complacent.

Stay safe.

And 10mm is a particularly nasty round for this to happen with.

I have never fired 10mm again. Sold the gun shortly after.

Here is the case...

The IPSC competitors shoot many thousands of reloaded rounds through Glocks without any issues. If you are concerned about a kaboom, then replace the factory barrel with a reinforced competition barrel, like KKM. You will be less likely to have a kaboom.

As for catastrophic failures whilst clearing; it usually happens with the .40 cal. What happens is that the round slips off the extractor as you rack the slide back, and the primer collides with the ejector, causing a detonation.
