Winchester 9mm luger case...steel instead of brass.

Not really case reforming but since it deals with cartridge cases...

I was sorting 9mm range brass and removing the aluminum and steel cases when I came across a winchester 9mm luger case that is magnetic.

When did winchester make non-brass 9mm cartridge cases. It was darkened like a lot of brass cases that lay on the range for a while, but not rusted like a wolf or tulammo case. Not sure why I even stuck it to a magnet. Probably checked it before I read the headstone. But, a "WIN 9MM LUGER" magnetic case.

Anyway, been wondering for a few weeks and just thought I'd ask.

I believe they call it "USA Forged" ammo. It's a bit of a euphemism if you ask me. Who doesn't want forged in the USA, when in reality it's now a completely throw away product.
