I would have sent that round as is. I simply would have closed my eyes and winced when pulling the trigger.

It would never have chambered or I would have just fired it.

No idea. All ball looks the same. Whatever Fed/LC would run in M855.

I picked up a 9mm ball round in front of some new age hippie weirdo health store and threw it in the back of my truck for a year or so - it was quite dark but fired fine.

I'm going to fire form the remaining dents out of this round this weekend. The interesting thing about this round is how well the cartridge looked inside. People flip out about ammo storage but if this round could fit in a chamber, it would have fired just fine.

That round looks smoother than some of the roll your own I've seen on the range from being drowned in lube during FL...some folks have no business touching a press.
