Made a trip to the range today with a friend of mine. He was blasting away with my .38 Super & I was keeping an eye on an picking up the brass. One of them was a 9mm from the fella next to us. I happened to look at the primer & it looked really funky. Best I can describe, it looked like a doughnut stuffed in the primer pocket.
I tried to get a look at what he was shootin, but couldn't get a close enough eyeball (was a newer semi auto). After he left an I was picking up the rest of my brass, the few others I looked at were the same. He was using new S&B ammo, so not sure what'd cause it.
Here's a pic of one I brought home. It's not the greatest since it doesn't show how raised up (where its bubbled, actually is sticking up above the rest of the primer) and round the primer is. I've shot S&B out of everything from 1911's to SIG's an never had a primer look like this.
