    The forum makes a thumbnail for you when you upload like that. Folks will have to click to embiggen. No need to warn us

    Only digging in on the position of the truth – yes, I defend guns because guns are useful for killing criminals and tyrants – is going to be successful. Only the truth shall set you free.

    Oh, I see. Sorry, I didn't really know that was a thing any more.

    No other way I can think of to explain that extremely clean separation in the middle of the case.
    I would have thought the casings were stamped, not cast.

    The initial billet is cast, then stretched/stamped. At least that's how rifle brass is made. I'm assuming that pistol is the same.
