jim6918 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I was policing my .380 brass the other day at the range, and after getting home sorted and counted my brass, and came up short two .380t. I still thought that was pretty good for an outdoor range. When I really got to inspecting the brass, I noticed the two casings in the photo attached. I did some research and discovered that they are really .380. So, I know that .380 is AKA "9mm kurtz" Is this crap brass that the pros here would just throw away? They came in a bulk purchase of brass and I have already loaded them once and they shot just fine in my 45 year old Walther PP. The good news is that I picked up 100% of my brass.

GrumpyOne Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 If they load and shoot ok, load and shoot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stick Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The S&B is Sellier & Bellot. I've loaded them without any issue in 9mm. The top one I can't make out, so I have no comment on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joelpend Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 If you are loading plinking ammo then I would not be concerned with mixed head stamps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 I mix headstamps loading 9mm Major for matches S&B has a very tight primer pocket, and I've had great difficulty inserting a new primer at times. So, I toss them. Just not worth the effort. If you have a Dillon 1950, they probably work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve RA Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Those are very rare presses, he probably doesn't have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdp88 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 As long as the brass isn’t deformed it should be good to go after cleaning. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
