Shooting this weekend, a friend gave me his brass which included some Maxxtech. After tumbling it, I was sorting by headstamp when I saw a strange ledge in only some of the Maxxtech brass. At first, I thought something like .25 brass got caught inside but it was actually a ledge.
I ground a piece of the brass to confirm what I was seeing, and you can see the cross section at the top of the photo. The piece of brass on the lower right is the same headstamp but does not have the ledge and several pieces of brass I got did not have the ledge. The other four pieces of brass in the pitcure show the ledge. I didn't notice whether they all came from the same box or whether they were from different boxes, maybe with different bullets.
The ledge will be great for seating the bullet, but the case volume is drastically reduced. I'm chucking all with this headstamp, but thought I'd pass the word.
