This is weird, I need help pls

I guess one piece of advice I could give here that I use myself now is to only purchase new brass.

You truly never know what has happened to so called 1F brass or if it is even been in the hands of multiple users.

It eliminates situations like this and help in knowing that any issues or irregularities will be caused by your own hands.Safer also.

Sound advice, Kelly. The odd time when I buy once fired brass I always have the seller verify that it was purchased new by him and fired once by him. Any other brass is a gamble at best. I avoid 'range' brass on principle.

By purchasing new brass, certainly you are guaranteed to have brass with no issues, or at least one would hope.
I spend a fair bit of time at the range during the warmer seasons and watch what is done with brass. The reloaders always pick up their brass. The brass that you see left on the ground is by shooters that do not reload. They open the box, shoot the ammo and sadly don't pick up their brass. I use range brass and have never had an issue with it, but I also inspect everything I pick up. I also sell some of the brass I pick up. I inspect it, clean it, sell it... and no one has ever come back and told me they have had an issue with it.
While it is possible that the odd piece I may find is a case that was missed by a reloader and may have been fired more than once, I think those are few and far between and 99% are indeed once fired.

That being said, it is possible that the OP's deformed brass was once fired, just in a rifle with a bad chamber. Of course this does not mean that the brass is no good either.
