9x45 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Found this in a bucket of range brass. Hope the shooter knew what he was dealing with. Trimmed a 9x19 down to a 9x18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razorfish Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow... Flat, pierced primer and you can literally see the ramp of the barrel on the side of the case. Judging from the lack of relief in the headstamp printing, it almost looks like the head of the case is flattened too. I'm thinking this is about as bad as it gets before you have a blow out.

9x45 Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Just the one, I have seen hundreds of overpressured brass over the years, but this one was worth a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONAJI Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 yah it is, its the worse I've seen, I'm guessing when it gets that bad it ends up being more catastrophic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinceislander Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Nice pic 9x45. Here is my kaboom first and hopefully last. Brass was range pick up. Needless to say, I now inspect and sort all my brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dauntedfuture Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I cant see the head stamp but that's also what happens when sometimes when you shoot a 9mm load, loaded in a .380 or 9x18 case in a 9mm. The primer starts to back out, then the case slams back on it. It can create the illusion of excessive pressure. If you shoot 9mm in a .38 super you also get the "drastic pressure" illusion. Note that at one point this case was shot out of a H&K. Im not sure if the both the pistols and subguns have the fluted chambers but I know the subguns do.
