Was at the range a few days ago, and since I'm seriously thinking of starting to reload, I picked up some brass. I wanted to examine them, just so I know what to expect. I shoot a 9mm, Kahr of course, but my son shoots .40 and .45.
I knew these were all new rounds, so I picked up some other brass in the area. When I looked at them closely, I noticed I had some .380's as well, but when I looked at some of the 9mm, I saw that they were stamped " S&B 9mm B.r. C. ", not 9mm Luger as all of mine. What kind of rounds are these, they are exactly the same size as .380's. Thanks for any info.

Its 9mm Br.C. which means 9mm Browning Corto, aka Browning Short, aka 9x17 aka .380ACP. Its all the same.

Thanks, I stopped by my LGS today, and he said the same thing. Good to know.
