I meant finding a spent case by mistake that they shot
Aaaa OK, I'll pay more attention to my brass. I do not know who made this batch of bullets and I don't recall who I bought them off of, I got them ten years ago or more. They are 115 gr FMJ. I'll check a dummy in all of my guns and see how they fit. Thanks.
