Odd 9mm Case With VM Headstamp

[peeplwtchr]

Hi All-

Picked this up today while pecking at range brass. A 5 min. Google search yielded zero. I have never seen this case type, and am wondering what the purpose is for a 2 section case, where it'sfrom, what time leriod etc, just curious.

Thanks

It's definitely a shellshock case.

Also found something else I've never seen before - steel cased 22lr. I guess I know ammo is scarce as f*** when I start seeing stuff like these 2 cases.

Shellshock have been around since at least 2016.
I don't know nothing about steel 22lr cases.

I have half a box of Russian steel cased 22lr.
Shot a few they all went bang.

Thanks, I checked out thier website, and it appears they may be offering this as a solution to unsupported case head glock chambers (Rangemaster told me about this glock thing today) ?.

I have been looking for an excuse to buy another set of 9mm dies.
I did buy a few thousand new shellshock cases. With plandemic pricing they were only slightly more expensive than mixed head stamp range trash. That's the only reason I know what they are. Was browsing on gunbroker and saw them and was thinking "what the heck are these?"
