This is an unusual one. If anyone can tell me who made it, it would be appreciated.
The bullet is a 55 grain FMJ.
The unusual part is the flash hole is undersized. It is Boxer primed, but a standard decapping pin is too large to fit through the flash hole.
I have a manual decapping pin & base set with which I can drive into the flash hole with a hammer and eject the primer. I then have to use a bench vise to hold the case while I lock on a set of vice grips to the decapper and tap it back out. Only did this once.
I can fix the flash hole problem using a 5/64 drill bit in my drill press and then decap as usual, but I' still curious as to who made these durn things.
I'm unable to find this head stamp using my regular sources, and am not sure if the numeral one is part of the manufacturer's code or a date code.

Thanks in advance.
