Crimped Primer Pocket?

I need some help with this one. My last box of Winchester White Box 9mm was filled with WCC headstamped cases. They all have the NATO cross. I thought they'd all have crimped primer pockets but it doesn't look like it to me. Here's a photo PMC 9mm on the left and the WCC 9mm on the right. The look identical to me. Do the WCC's look crimped to you? Anyone ever get any WCC NATO rounds without the crimp?

Any help is appreciated!

Nope, not crimped. I've often found WCC headstamped 9x19 brass without the crimp. For me it's no big deal, one way or the other.

Hope this helps.

Doesn’t look like any crimp to me. I have not bought much factory ammo for many years, but never saw NATO ammo without a crimp.

Ditto, which is why I had to ask. I thought my eyes were just seeing what I wanted to see. I'm no fan of the crimp.

You could try to poke a primer in it and find out.
