MaxxTech 9mm 124gr FMJ Ammo 50 Rounds $11.99 STEAL!
I think inside the casing.
I have a bunch of mixed 9mm for loading and I don’t notice the step until I look in the case after filling with powder.
You have to look inside.
These companies are all known to have made this crap, there may be others and not all brass from these companies will necessarily be stepped. I don't think Freedom Munitions stuck with it for very long but a bunch of it got out there for sure. They do it because the step makes it impossible for bullet setback and a kaboom from it. Problem is the step is in 3 different locations depending on bullet weight of the original cartridge. This affects internal case volume biggly which affects pressure.
imt, freedom, maxxtech, ammoload
No matter which one you have there is a stress riser in the case wall at that step location and it WILL give way at some point leaving the front part of the case stuck in your chamber. Lots of people reload them and don't have a problem. Until they do...Which is a certainty....Only question is when...
This stuff is garbage.

It's garbage if you reload 9ball. If you don't, not so much.
I’ve had problems with that ammo. I wouldn’t buy it if it was $2/bx.
I would. Never had a problem with it.
It's not Chris Rock how-much-for-one-rib yet.
Lmao.
To add to the picture of the step case though, the stepped cases I’ve ran across never looked like they had THAT MUCH step in them.
