Flat Primer

[wakajawaka]

Sometimes I find something on the range that makes me think.
I like to keep them just for fun.
I think I've found the definition of a Flat Primer...

Thats flat, alright. Looks like a slight bulge in the case, too! Lightman

I want to see what the pistol looks like.

Jesus Christ............

Wow.......

Jesus Christ............

No,Sir,
isn't Jesus Christ, it's only someone that has loaded a .380 at the pressures of a 9 Para or more, but I agree that the REAL miracle is how another , if serious, could think that it was coming from a .45acp pistol _

(the picture has something that make me remember my 1st.reload_
memories can fade, but the sensation is well alive even today)

looks like it was fired out of a full auto open bolt submachinegun. Might have been a Mac 11.....mine used to do that to the brass despite being well within spec on pressure. Same ammo ran fine in a blowback beretta pistol with no flattened primer or bulged case.

I've seen cases bulged like that (and worse) but that's definitely the worst hammered primer I've ever seen!
