I got into reloading in 1992 because of a G20. AFAIK it is a "first generation" pistol.

I used (and still use) the Lee carbide dies. My press at the time was the Lee Hand press (still have it) but the dies migrated to a 550B in 1994. I used the powder scoop for a long time and still have some of the original 200rds of factory brass.

I never noticed a "bulge" until the last few years when I started testing some very hot 180 and 200gr loads, and those were with new brass. Any brass with a "glock smile" I discard. Any that just have a bulge get run through the "bulge buster" and will be used for mild plinking loads.

Enjoy your G20!
