    Looks like the attempt to reload the cartridge failed.

    GONRA sez that "belt" on the case shows a crappy resizing job. (I guess?) Its all down hill from there....

    Looks like you applied TOO much crimp. Is your case way too long.

    What Mold does that bullet drop from ? Doesn't quite look like a #452374. Is it from a Lee mold?

    Almost looks like it was sized from the bottom in a Lube-Sizer, from a too big bullet to a too small size die.

    Dropped .459, sized .451
    I HATE auto-correct

    Happiness is a Warm GUN & more ammo to shoot in it.

    My Experience and My Opinion, are just that, Mine.
