Is there something strange about these? I know there not steel but the plating seems strange.
Doh pay no attention to the speer on the right.

Are they sticking in a carbide sizing die?
Did you lube the cases?
They look terrible in the picture but I can't tell if it's just a terrible picture or what's going on.Randall Rausch

Hmmm...these?
Maybe they are not reloadable for some reason?

From thread below
Sounds like they need or like a long cleaning session to remove the purple
-----
just wet tumbled some of it in a small batch. No lemishine, car wash soap only, no steel media on 2 hour tumble. Came out clean without the purple color. Going to chalk it up as expensive lesson.Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

That purple stuff I've seen was packaged as "Winchester Training Ammo". I remember purple 223 and 9mm (there may have been some 40 as well.)
The purple stuff was just a colored wash, not permanent, presumably to mark it such that law enforcement knew it was not "duty ammo". The purple essentially wiped off (a day in a jacket pocket took it all off), leaving a standard brass case.
I'd guess the sticking problem is being caused by the dye or paint or whatever you want to call it. Tumbling will probably remove it, and the brass, as far as I remember, was otherwise the same as everything else.Comment
