I kinda like the concept of a thicker base! My first batch of 38 Special I ever loaded for the M52 was thick walled military brass, and I had great results and case life.
#Ammoload 9mm brass full

I know the MP40 and MAC-10 feed best when the loading is a little more hot than conventional 9mm. andrewP Posts: 608 Joined: Fri 12:50 am Location: Twin Cities, MN I think I'll wait until I exhaust that container of brass, though, just to see how many I find. I suppose I probably should get rid of them just to be sure I don't accidentally mix them back in. They're sitting on the corner of my bench at the moment. I must have gotten some of yours after tearing down the comp range stage 2 weeks ago - I found 2 IMTs and an Ammoload while loading a batch that had some brass from there. I'll try and remember to pick up some of my brass on Thursday at the USPSA match and check to see if the ridge is in there. This month's order now uses IMT brass (which the intertubes claim as the same Turkish supplier as Ammoload).

As such, if you run into this stuff, segregate it and make sure it isn't loaded with anything ELSE!! That's significant, and if you're loading full power loads with a quick burning powder like 231, something could go KABOOM on you. That's misleading, however, as the front half of the case is taken up by the bullet, so as far as the space for the powder is concerned, Ammoload cases have about 9% LESS internal volume than other cases.
I then did a volume determination with water, and found out these cases had 4.4% LESS volume that standard 9mm cases. I went to the trouble of weighing the cases, and on average, they are 8.8% heavier than the average of 6 other popular brands, which is what you would expect with that extra brass in there. These cases have a ledge and thus a substantially thicker base to them, which will make them VERY different from any other 9mm brass, and if you mix this stuff in with your other 9mm, you are asking for trouble. If you don't find 200 0r 300 all lying there in a pile, then you better make sure this doesn't get in with your other brass!! As with 9mm, if you do reload this stuff, you're going to have to develop a whole new recipe for this reduced powder volume case. There are also 45ACP Ammoload cases, and it has the same weird ledge inside the case in the lower half of it. Was sorting my 9mm range brass I had scrounged, and came across some very weird stuff: UPDATE!! Just found a 2nd headstamp with the same reduced internal space: IMT Just ran across about 10 more of these little pressure cookers at OGC, so I thought I shorten up and repeat my warning from last year. Sort 9mm carefully from now on, people, because it's your continued good health that will be on the line. 6/3/14 UPDATE: Just scrounged a bunch more brass over at OGC, and found EVEN MORE Ammoload and IMT brass than before!! That means that it is likely that a lot of you will be getting stuck with this stuff like the #$$%^&^^%$$#%^&^%$^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! small primer 45ACP cases, except that stuff is an annoyance rather than a possible cause of a Kaboom if you load it with a near max load.
