Stepped case not unheard of but not common either—has been discussed here in the past. What’s the headstamp?View attachment 1192978
Never seen that before and figured I'd ask what would cause a very uniform rim around the interior like that? Just a regular 9mm case...

They are manufactured that way. Not a problem if you aren't seating your bullets pass that point. The most common headstamps for these cases are Ammoland, FM (Freedom Munitions), and IMT (not to be confused with IMI; who makes great brass)Never seen that before and figured I'd ask what would cause a very uniform rim around the interior like that?

That's why I toss all of the stepped 9mm cases.The big takeaway here is if you miss that step and load a bullet that fits, you will have less case volume than a regular brass and will cause a dangerous pressure event when shooting this round. To utilize that brass seperate loading data would need to be found.
I have been seeing a fair amount of it lately here where I am the head stamp I have been seeing is MXTView attachment 1192978

The problem for reloaders is that they will crack right at the step about the 3rd reload.
