Short 9mm Brass? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Picked up my brass from my range session yesterday, and found out I picked up something smaller then the rest. It's labeled as 9mm Br...which i assume would mean 9mm browning. Is this the same thing as .380 ACP? And if so...I didn't think they still made cases with those markings. Aren't they all labeled as .380 ACP now?

It was weird because it's the same manufacturer of my other rounds, and didn't notice it until today. No one else was shooting that type that day...it was obvious as there is red dye on the primers, making them easy to spot.

9mm kurtz I imagine red primers streaks are often associated with russian import ammo (wolf has it)

A lot of European ammo has that red stuff on the primers; that would explain the odd marking. And yes, it is a .380acp here in the good ol' US of A.

I picked up some Sellior&Bellot (or what ever it's called) and it's marked 9mm Bro. Or something like that it's not labeled as .380 and it's fairly new.
