Ran across something I've never seen before and wanted help to ID it. It's from range pickup after a match. A black-colored 9x19 case marked "Hornady 9mm Luger". Non-magnetic that weighs the same (61gr) as a typical 9x19 brass cartridge case. Doesn't feel like aluminum, but under the black coating looks to be shiny silver, not a brassy color. The black is a durable, professional coating, not paint. The coating is very thin. At first I thought it was simply marker pen, but it's not budging or rubbing off. However, the coating is wearing off at the sharp edges.
