Interesting that No.15 also looks to be a ‘small primer’ case, but isn’t ‘Z’ marked like No.3 is, assuming both are single hole boxer primer cases, especially both being made in North America. Although so is No.14 but that is a ‘large’ primer case as well, so assume all the large primer cases are two hole Berdan primer cases for cordite?
