Maybe I'm displaying my youth (not that young but still)
I found this piece of brass randomly in a batch of my range brass (I try to ONLY pick up my own from the range but from time to time random pieces find their way home with me)
I've never seen this before and so I had to Google and see what in the world it is/was. This thing seems like a beast! Why didn't it become more of a thing I wonder?
Basically a longer 45 acp....if 40 s&w was paralleled to 45acp then would be it's 10mm....higher pressure and more umph. Looks formidable.
Anyone have any experience with it? Don't think I'm interested in finding a niche caliber and firearm at the moment but it is interesting...would be a killer whitetail round in pistol
Also, strangely enough it seems to be a completely new piece of brass? Random I know but has zero carbon scoring and doesn't look like any chamber marks or die marks on the brass at all....it does seem to have a couple of tarnish marks where I would imagine the anvil of the primer could be but again, doesn't seem to have any marks in the primer pocket to indicate a primer was ever there (looked at it through a jewelers loope) very strange to find it in range brass for sure...does seem to have an ever so slight flare on the case mouth as if it was prepped for loading but nothing else. Any)all of this could be coincidence but it's all a mystery at this point to me.
Posting here to get your guys musings and get some stories from someone who has seen it before
