In fact it looks like someone's handload, and already set back into the case.
Yup... and different bullet too. Almost looks like it might have aSee?!?! That's what I thought. In fact, the case mouth looks like it's still flared OUT.

That’s FEDERAL brass, not Magtech (the headlamp for which is CBC) and those are Keithesque SWCbullets. So, those are pretty likely to be reloads.
The case cannelure has no impact on reloadability whatsoever.
As @DocRock says, federal case. It's been mentioned before that often that secondary ring isn't always to prevent setback but to differentiate loading. It isn't important and the cases are totally fine to reload.
Looks like that to me too.
I've shot a lot of magtech cowboy 45 colt, it's not that.
Looks like it would trash the case after firing with those fine lines pressed into the case.

I wouldn't fire them, somethings fishy.
differentiate loading?????
There was a time where black powder loading were in certain cases and smokeless would get an extra impressed ring on the case for an easy visual aid. Not likely the case on these but you never know because the cartridge is such an old one. I could be mistaken though and forgive me if I'm wrong but I believe it was @Driftwood Johnson that was discussing this recently . either way, the extra groove in the case won't matter, can't be reproduced and will finish after firing and sizing a few timesdifferentiate loading
