That is a blank cartridge crimp. Someone sold you some blank rounds.
yep blanks, don't recall where but I think I saw a blank crimper and/or blank brass for sale not that long ago.
Scrap.... because all the really pithy and emphatic four letter words were taken and we had to describe this source of casting material somehow so we added an "S" to what non casters and wives call what we collect.
Kind of hard to claim to love America while one is hating half the Americans that disagree with you. One nation indivisible requires work.

Oh, interesting. What use would Rem .223 blanks have?
In one of the die hard movies they gave Bruce some blanks

Funerals for civilian and combat practice with blank firing adapters for LE and military.
Funerals and other military ceremonies.
Film sets, and starting races did come to mind. Using an AR to start a foot race during high school Field Day would be hilarious!
So for funerals and such would you have a primer and powder? Or just a live primer?

Everyone with a military background will recognize those as blanks. Probably with a negative cast as M-16's required a "blank adapter" to fire them in auto mode. Essentially a clamp which blocked the muzzle and made cleaning the rifle a difficult process.

I may be discharged and retired but I'm sure I did not renounce the oath that I solemnly swore!
Training-to give realism without the lethality of projectiles.

Blanks used to be used for some military training, guns had to be fitted with adapters.
I've seen enough 5.56 blanks but never a Rem 223. What's the headstamp?

Training, funeral firing squad.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.
you can make 300 bo from them still.
in the old day's they used to give us piles of those and let us shoot each other in ummm 'house clearing' practice.
Interesting! Must have been a bad idea? I'm just thinking of my boys playing cops and robbers with blanks.Not gonna happen. Sounds like it used to happen though.
It is a heck of a lot better idea than having soldiers yelling "Bang, I shot you." at each other. Realism in training prevents bleeding in combat.

Blanks and Blank adapaters on Rifles and Machine guns; in conjunction with MILES gear ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multip...agement_system) provided a level of realism in training, including an "No Arguments" on hits and kills.

That is VERY cool!
