Quoted: .357 maxQuoted: That's way to uniform to be an out of battery firing. I'd expect it to pop before being that precise. Looks to me like it was fired in a rifle chambered for a belted cartridge, and it fireformed to the belt. I have no idea what belted cartridge would have a base that small though as generally they are thick. Maybe it was fired in an old oddball British chambering... I honestly can't think of any other cartridge chamber that would allow a .30 Carbine to be fired and work. ETA: I see a fairly deep extractor mark... I'm going to join the OoB camp here. |

Yes, the extractor mark is evident on the case.

If you get a round of 30 carbine mixed with your 9mm Largo ammo and shoot a vintage Astra. Try a 9mm bullet in the case.

Having seen SMG ammo do that I'm going to say it came out of an M2 firing full auto. Or a badly functioning m1
