Don I'd love to, but I'd have to get an export permit to get it out of the USA.  I think that's more expensive than the brass.

CF, I'm not sure why that one round did that to the brass.  It only happened once and it was much like what I'd seen in pictures of smokeless breech seated crumpled cases, but less severe.   The bullet was the same Hoch 322200D bullet that I always shoot ( breech seated ) in my Ruger #1.  Maybe something funky was going on with that piece of brass.  I didn't worry about it too much as many of my cases have hundreds of rounds through them with no trouble.  It is a mystery though, and I'm sure that particular shot didn't quite go where it was supposed to.

Chris.

Well,now that ya mention it, I crumpled a few in my life too. Not in my only-ever .32-40. But, a couple of times in a frustrating high wall in .30 Wasp. When they folded up, you really had a junk case. Went in looking like a bottle, came out looking like a jar with the lid off. Whole neck and nearly all the shoulder folded in a couple of times. 
Shot like crazy with fixed jacketed though.  Cry
