What's so cool about it?

Read the fine print "Features a 123grn lead core copper jacketed bullet, brass case, and berdan corrosive primer"
 
Berdan stuff

I saw a post recently where they showed how they reused berdan-primed brass. If good quality brass is available, we can reload it, berdan or not.
 
it could be better quality than czech, more accuracy is always nice. and can am has non corrosive berdan primers. cheap to buy plus cheap to reload = sweet deal.
 
explain annealed

Annealing means it's heated to soften it, as manipulating brass during the forming process (and when re-sizing during reloading) makes it harder and more brittle.

All brass is annealed several times during the process of making a cartidge, but many times it's polished after the final step to remove the discolouration. In this case it wasn't.
 
M67

"In the 1960s the Yugoslavians experimented with new bullet designs to produce a round with a superior wounding profile, speed, and accuracy to the M43. Dr. Fackler also evaluated the M67 in the same manner that he evaluated the M43. The M67 projectile is shorter and flatter-based than the M43. This is mainly due to the deletion of the mild steel insert. This has the side effect of shifting the center of gravity rearward in comparison to the M43. This allows the projectile to destabilize nearly 17 cm (6.7 in) earlier in tissue. This causes a pair of large stretch cavities at a depth likely to cause effective wound trauma. When the temporary stretch cavity intersects with the skin at the exit area, a larger exit wound will result, which takes longer to heal. Additionally, when the stretch cavity intersects a stiff organ like the liver, it will cause damage to that organ."
