Griff Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 That looks like a dimple... and that the case didn't get sized far enough... maybe cocked in the shell holder? A piece of media stuck to the side of the case as it got sized? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that sometimes on brass that comes off the 3 gun range. From the inside out? What are the odds of that? This is a pimple, not a dimple.

Dusty Devil Dale Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 It looks like a .32 cal. If so, a steel wet tumbling pin might have jambed across the case and been forced during deprime, thus creating the external "pimple". Just speculating.

WOODFOX , sass#34179 Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 i bought some used 45-70 brass and a couple of the were like that. Somebody was drilling the action for a scope and drilled through the chamber. Woodfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totes Magoats Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I’ve stove piped brass in my rifle and poked through a piece of brass with the extractor, same area but the dent/hole looked larger than your pics. odd for sure. Totes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 My guess is that somebody had an OOB discharge and the case budged into the extractor groove. You wound up with the case mixed in with your brass at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 How bout if a piece of shot got in the powder? Firing may have pushed it in the side of the case. Although I would think the chamber would keep it from making the pimple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that it was just low enough on the case that the sizing die didn't reach it. Kinda like the case bulge that Glocks leave on fired rounds. Only way to remove it is by pushing the case through a special die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A properly adjusted F/L sizing die would have contacted that case bump. BTW, I use std F/L size dies for my Glock ammo(9mm & .40 S&W)and have no feed issues.
