ThanksPPU, by that headstamp
Yeah, already in the scrap bucket. Really wish that I’d noticed it before I’d deprimed them all, would have measured the spent primers.I would start the process by throwing it in the garbage can
I've reloaded hundreds of these with no problems.Yeah, not kidding. Looks like surplus something, non US. Probably just way out of spec, but then how would they prime it?

Ppu 10mm brass caused me many problems, and made me believe I was messing up when I was learning to load.... bad neck tension, unable to get it to crimp, the works....Guys, pic above is with new primers seated, they sit super low. Might be fine, or firing pin might not reach them. If it was some unobtanium caliber I’d make it work, but 45acp brass is too cheap to bother with stuff that’s this far out of spec.
Those primers do appear rather low. They might be fine in a 1911 but not in some other handguns. Keep them in the recycle bin.Guys, pic above is with new primers seated, they sit super low.

They still have the original red sealant, so I doubt that much has been done to them, but anything is possible.I wonder if someone reamed the primer pockets out with a reamer meant for large rifle primer pockets?
Glad to know I am not the only one. I got a batch of 1000 rounds of factory PPU 10mm when I bought a gun, and I found the same problem. The wall thickness was less than any other 10mm brass. I bought a Lee undersized sizing die, and that helped, but I think I will scrap them when I am done.Ppu 10mm brass caused me many problems, and made me believe I was messing up when I was learning to load.... bad neck tension, unable to get it to crimp, the works....
So I stay away from ppu 10mm.
Yup, your not crazy at all.... they just dont work for certain calibers. Those pieces of brass almost soured me on loading....Glad to know I am not the only one.
