the boys found a hand ful of .40 S&W cases that have been treated with some kind of brass black. They're Hornaday head stamped.

Are these from some super secret, CIA, zombie killer loads? :D

Oh and they pulled a 500 S&W case out too - holy cats that thing looks like it belongs in an artillery piece .. :what:

They are actually nickel cases with black finish. If you reload them enough times, the black finish will start to wear.

Hornady tap.

Fairly standard.

"special process" to increase cashflow and reduce wallet bulging.

I had heard that TAP rounds had black cases, but the ones I've gotten have all been nickel.

I ran across those also. Just throw them in with your regular brass. They reload just fine.
