    That is the only thing I can think of . . . its like two pours. They did a partial, it cooled some before they realized the mold wasn't full, then just finished filling it.

    No other way I can think of to explain that extremely clean separation in the middle of the case.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    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.

    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.
