I picked up some brass during one of our range competitions and in the process of depriming before tumbling I noticed that one case was unique. It has an extra level of brass around the bottom third of the case. The case is head stamped "IMT" with some kind of circular symbol before and after the IMT.
Has anyone seen this before or know what this is?

Been around a few years it seems. Dump it or be careful when sizing...

Technically, the glass is always full; half liquid, half air....

Thanks for the input Ron. I will be sending it to the metal recycler and keeping an eye out for any more.

For anyone interested I posted this on another forum and found out that the head stamp is for Freedom Munitions. I also found that they have discontinued this casing as of the first quarter 2016, although there may still be many more out there.

FWIW I bought some Freedom Munitions 357 rds. I was NOT impressed. No problems, good price,

but I could not tell them from a UMC 38spl w/shooting !!
