Looks like some kind of brass made just for 9mm major loads.
I wonder how much that thicker web boosts pressure if it's just in the mix with random headstamps with a given load? |

I leave that in my "dump on the ground" pile. So far I haven't had any stoppages when loading it, but I will watch it closely. I could see some issues with a 147gr bullet hitting that ridge.

Uh oh, just found a couple of those on the range, a very timely post. Could they be reloaded on the RL 550?

I believe its with the sizing stage. But I could be wrong. |

It is either 9mm "Major" loads or weaker brass and is thicker as not to fail in the web. The additional pressure was another concern. |

Funny, I ran across about a dozen of these last night and set them aside to ask about in here. Between the name (Ammoload? Really?) and the funky internal self/web it just seemed strange.
For what it's worth, they DID size on my LNL AP, but felt strange enough that I pulled them out. I could definitly tell them apart from standard brass. |

I would think that it would be the perfect brass for these guns that have a partially unsupported chamber.

I want a lot more details about its origin and intended purpose before I say it is a premium brass for hot loadings.

That was one of them the guys on the BE forums toss.
I'm to cheap to do that without a good reason. |

I have been hitting a lot of this brass. Goes to the scrap bin.
