What case is this?

[ByronW]

I found this plastic case on the range and I'm curious as to what it is? It seems to take a small pistol primer and it has 4 holes in the case head. There are no markings. Dimensions are slightly smaller then a 38 Special case and shorter.(see pics)

Do those 4 holes go all the way through? That's really weird looking.

 

[ByronW]

Yes the holes go through and into the case.

Looks like a plastic blank cartridge.

Public range? If so i hope it was a gangbanger testing his ccw ammo.

Sorry I didn't mean to leave that behind. I'm sending a man in a black van to come pick it up. He may have some questions for you so when he asks you to get in he'll only need a few minutes of your time. You'll be fine......

I believe that is a case designed for shooting wax bullets, using just the primer for propulsion. The additional holes are probably to prevent primer set back which would otherwise jam the cylinder.

I believe Gammon is correct that this was probably designed for shooting wax bullets. I can't find anything that looks exactly like it when I search the web for images. I'm still curious as to the manufacturer.

Search polymer ammo on here there was a thread about a year ago that had something similar looking but I never knew it came to fruition
