I believe he's showing that there is some odd ball "super 38 spl" that is LPP vs regular 38spl that is SPP. I don't think any primer sides are stuck in the pockets.Did the back of the primer come off leaving the sides of the primer inside the primer pocket? I have had that happen occasionally, especially on cases that had been wet and allowed to sit around for a while. If that is not the case, what type of primer came out of those cases?
38 Super Special?
Do tell... where did you get that brass from? From what I read, the "super 38 special" was a precursor to the .357 magnum and was an attempt to get as much velocity out of the .38 special case. It did use a large pistol primer.
Must have been a really old fart shooting thatHere's a few links that I found when searching. It seems like much of this ammo dates from the mid-to-late 1930's.

Probably.Probably some kid. Gramps had a few boxes put up and when he passed junior took them to the range.
Probably.
Back when I was in school and worked part time for a vending machine company, we were always finding silver quarters that kids had found in their parent's stash. They made a distinctively different sound when dropped during counting.
