    Are there any two that are actually the same? Someone has been trying real hard to chamber the two on the right.

    I suspect the seating die was set too low and was trying to crimp into a non existent groove. The result is a collapsed shoulder like you see. An overlong case can do the same thing when trying to chamber a round.

    Even an old ignoramus like me can see that there would be problems amongst that lot.

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
