Help Me Understand this 9mm Case

[BrassCase]

We see that (expanded cases) too often at the range. Because of that we instituted another rule about 5 years ago: Only two guns allowed on the bench at any time. That almost completely stopped it from happening.

How about this guy?

UNCLE DUB'S RELOADS! If there's ROOM in the case, it needs MORE powder!!!

As an FYI, the wrong caliber thing isn't limited to handguns. This was done by an "instructor" (I use the term very loosely here) who was familiarizing a client to a newly purchased AK. I was called over as the "instructor" had a fired case in the chamber that he couldn't get out. Bolt wouldn't extract it - no big deal, put a rod down the barrel. On removal, my first thought was "That's not right."

Image shows a 7.62x39 round on top (correct) and what came out on the bottom.

Is the bottom case .223?

Not a rifle guy so unsure.

Well, not anymore.

Yes, it was originally a 223 round. Apparently the extractor held it tight enough that the firing pin was able to set it off. Note the delineation where the AK chamber ends. No idea where the bullet ended up, but I can't imagine it went very far.

What about this 44 MAG case?
