Had a good time today thanx for the good chow. Hope I made a new 22TCM fan. Thanx again Dale
Scream? From what? Those hot links David “cooked” on the grill? Them weren’t hot; they was for girly-men.

I would have been afraid to shoot the middle round. It's very possible the pressure generated from that crimp would have exceeded the pressure your barrel would have handled. 9mm is taper crimped, that is a dangerous round right there. If it's a factory round, I'd danged sure return it and the rest of the ammo to the factory.
Wish I could have joined you folks, but Easter activities prevented it.

That middle round was the top round in the fully loaded magazine, it wouldn’t chamber (thank The Good Lord). I am going to be communicating with Winchester about it this coming week. I have several 200-round packs of this stuff, plain old WWB 115 gr 9mm Range fodder. Never had one act like this before. Winchester FMJ(unk).

WWB typically has an issue making major power factor in USPSA matches on occasion. Pretty lightly loaded ammo.
That one is scary as a light load with that crimp gains much higher pressure.
A fun morning, thanks to all who came. Couldn't have asked for a more pleasant morning. Thanks to Jen for putting out the spread, making it feel like a family picnic, and David for being "The Chef".
David, here is the site I found with the ammo. Forgot, also ordered a Benchmade knife they have on clearance.

The knife $75. I won't spend more for a DD, I break them too quickly.

Many thanks to all that made this event happen. Great people, great shooting, and oh, great food. Only downside is this is going to cost me some coin, I think I fell in love with a new rifle.
Got to spend some quality time afterwards scrubbing the heck out of a crusty flintlock.

Joel's G19 tried valiantly to get it to fit, so I suspect the cartridge self-crimped on chambering . It was locked up super tight, thought we were going to need to start hunting for a hammer. No question that was a dangerous round.
We did the plunk test on a bunch of others and didn't find any further problems but I can understand Mr. D's reluctance to continue sending these downrange.
From this angle it looks a lot like 9x21 brass.
