I inspected about 50 pieces of brass and didn’t find anything missing from them. But I shot 310 today and it’s just luck of the draw if I find one that sheared.
I did find two that were smashed into the chamber with the debris and it left an impression on them.
Two appear longer in case length - looks like extractor groove is taller on the cases on the ends. At end of chamber the bullet tries to take case mouth with it?
*i was referencing the lineup of three expended/one live.
If it helps, these are the pistols that have issues with the ammo:
Difficulty chambering:
P30l
Steyr MA1
PPQ
The HK seems worst, but still malfunctions are only a 1-2% thing. Debris flying is multiple shots every mag.
Failures to extract:
Beretta PX4C
Pistols that don’t seem to care:
Glocks
Beretta 92s
I have not tried it in anything else.
What does the interior of the cases look like. Is there a inner step in the case?
We may lose and we may win, but we will never be here again.......
Any pull downs of loaded rounds? I doubt it's anything internal or left over from manufacturing but who knows.
Do the cases with large extractor cuts have noticeable case volume or internal depth differences?
Maybe chrono the stuff if you still feel safe shooting it.
I'd half expect this from Freedom reman... but not PPU.
The importer will replace your ammo. I think that they will ask for it back.

Do they fit the chamber of your barrel like they do the case gage? That bullet looks really long. Do they spin freely when chambered? Pull the barrel out to chamber check.
There is a noticeable rim inside some cases. It is a dark ring that seems a little gooey. I don’t think any brass is missing there but it is the right shape.
