Found some brass with an unknown designation.
Brass is S&B with the following; 9mmBrC. Anyone know what it could be?

I always get a chuckle out trying to talk to folks at a range, "Yaknow, not all ammo is made in the states."
If you really want to look like you sprouted a second head, try talking about how may different 9mm type cartridges there are kicking around Europe. I.E. though the said cartidge is diffrent from say your run of the mill 9mm Luger the diameter of the projectile is the same hence the designation of 9mm. However in brownings case they hung their name on it. In Germany it would be "kurz?" for short or whatever in Spanish for short in Spain.
