    Sorting brass this morning, never seen a primer strike like this.

    This was out of an unknown rifle as this is range brass.

    Is this out of a hobbed out AR 15 that had years of abuse, causing a hobbed out firing pinhole?

    The weird thing is that it’s a perfect oblong circle around the firing pin hole mark.

    Does someone knows this a primer that comes that way? Looks like it was from 2018.

    Okay…. Thank you for that info…. Wasn’t sure if it was a machine gun or from factory 1st time for everything!

    Is that a burdenham (I know I’m not saying that right) primer? Will have to look and see if there a 2-flash holes… as that would have jacked up my press if I plug that through, unknowingly.
