We had similar discussions to "fix" Glocked cases in our shooting group and decided it was better to eliminate the cause of the bulges instead of fixing the bulges.
That's why I recommend the better chamber supported newer factory barrels or match grade aftermarket barrels with even better support/tighter chamber.
Fixing the bulged cases by using Redding G-RX pass through dies or using thinner top shell holder on single stage press will not address the cause of bulged cases, you can only do that with barrel change.
Since I have switched to Lone Wolf barrels (I load to 5% less max), I no longer get bulged cases. For range pickup brass, I inspect them closely and sort out any bulged cases and they all get sized on the single stage press (any case that fails the case gauge gets tossed for scrap).
