I was decapping some 9mm range brass last night, and noticed something a little shocking. Looked inside, and the case actually steps down to a much smaller ID below the projectile. The headstamp is "Maxxtech 9mm Luger," which is apparently a kind of brass ammo produced by Tula. I'm guessing they did it to prevent the projectile set-back, or to cheap out by using less powder since reduced case volume will result in higher pressures.
In any case, let these guys slip through and you're going to have a very-bad, over-pressure-resulting-in-explosion kind of day. Russians need to lay of the vodka, and maybe stick with steel cases.
