    The double cannelure rings indicate it was loaded with a HBWC, a single ring near the middle of the case would be for DEWC’s.

    I have two of those old nickel plated Peters cases with Large primers I have no idea where they came from but have been told they where the 38/44 high pressure load for large frame revolvers.
    When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.

    Reloading .45 ACP this week, I ran into half dozen Peters .45 ACP casings and a bunch of milspec RA 60 and 62 .45 ACP. Hard to realize I shot that stuff in VN when it was newly made in a Thompson. Hard to realize it's 60 something years old./beagle
    Isn't it scary how that sneaks up on us?
