I think the answer lies more in using lead bullets than reloads. You CAN buy replacement barrels. The lack of full support can wear out or damage brass quicker than most other pistols. Check out glocktalk . com and they'll be able to tell you all about it. You can probably just do a search and find what you want.

Why wouldn't you just weld a table together. Don't you think that would be a little bit of a sturdier table? I'm actually myself getting into reloading before i even own the caliber rifle that i want to reload. .223 Remington. I'm thinking about getting a Dillon 550b I like Lee Loadings progressive auto indexer but dont like the look or the light switch chain for the powder

Well, I don't have a welder and the presss isn't attached to the bench. It's attached to a steel pole that goes through my basement floor. See my other videos. The chain is no probem whatsoever as long as you adjust it right. It is EASY to do. My most recent video shows me reloading with my LM and I adjust the chain at the end.

ok my question to anyone that can answer is that i have a lee reload book and it says that i cant use reloads in glocks.. " the 40 smith and wesson " because of the unsupported chamber due to the intrusion of the feed ramp.. id love to make my own ammo for my glocks but i cant discount years of knowledge.

Good job, I think when I finally build a proper reloading bench I'm going to do it this way.

@liljohnnie69 I wish I had my prints I made a while back, my prints for the reload came with custom drawer sizes to fit case vibrators, media separator, extra die heads, and all my dies and tools, had drawers to put all my different sized shells, all drawers were locking T-Handle drawers, thing was amazing. I will redesign my steel reloading table, to be even bigger than my last, with as much fore though to design each drawer to hold as close to 1000 rounds of the most popular shell sizes.

@calypsobikes

Understood, but my bench is wood and i built it from materials i had available.My Dillon 650 is mounted to a 8 X 10 piece of 1/4 inch steel which is then mounted to a reinforced section of the bench. The bench is bolted to the wall AND the floor. The result is complete awesomeness,there is absolutely no flex when i reload. Cheap doesn't mean substandard. Steel is overkill in this application (not necessarily a bad thing) but if you do build it i wanna see that bad johnson!

@calypsobikes If you don't have a steady surgeons hand, sorry you will never be a welder, you will only be a rod burner to me, and its time to set your welder down.

@calypsobikes Oh and finally, steel, yes it is more expensive. BUT i think the price versus quality is a lot better than wood. The Pro's versus Con's come into play. If all your worried about IS price, then just go be a cheap jew and buy wood, and build your junk ass table out of wood, if your not, then shit go buy a welder AND steel and learn to weld, and build your table. I know how to weld, and fabricate, and I am certified, its really not that hard to weld, just need a steady hand!

@calypsobikes Now why would police departments spend 300$ less on a box that lasts them only 16.5-33% lifespan less than the better box? Number one, they want their same budget for the next year, or number two because they are just sales, and dont have any in field experience with other businesses products they dont know the difference between wood and steel, the only difference they see is $300 on the bottom of the page were it says TOTAL. Chew on that for a little bit!
