BigP623 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 I bought a few tracer rounds at the local gun show today and on one of the cases there are some weird protrusions evenly spaced all the way around the neck of the case. Is this normal or safe to fire in any way? And what are these marks for? I attached a pic to show what i mean.
blue109 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 Looks like an out of battery catastrophe waiting to happen.
BigP623 Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Posted July 27, 2013 Thats what i was thinking but y is the case made this way is what i am wondering
blue109 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 Tried some google fu. Can't find anything like it.
BLKSHEEP Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 WTH, I'd pull the bullet & dump the powder just to make sure it never goes bang. Makes a good conversation piece though.
survivalshop Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 Tracer round ? Them dimples are right where the cartridge head spaces , interesting . I think I have seen this before , just not sure .
blue109 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Posted July 27, 2013 Found a pic of brass with holes where your dimples are. Someone said its a round to use in a trainer. The brass blows out to lower pressure. Maybe?? http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=6&f=42&t=251087
BigP623 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Posted July 28, 2013 Yeah i think ill pull it and dump so it never makes it into my gun
blue109 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Posted July 28, 2013 I would keep it on a shelf! just put some tape or something on it so there's no mix ups. Its pretty interesting. I posted it on some other forums with no answers.
