Any other "BAD" brass cases to avoid (any caliber) besides stepped 9mm

Yup - that is a .380 case

What we call "380Auto" is what the Europeans call "9mm Browning Kurz". It's really more accurately called 9x17mm, because it does use a 0.355 bullet, but the case is 17mm long.

I recently bought a 32ACP, which is what the Europeans call "7.65mm Browning". "A prophet is never honored in his own country." So I guess the Europeans simply hold JMB in higher esteem.

yep, 9mm Browning Corto / 9mm Browning Court are 2 of the European designations for the 9x17mm

You're right (you knew that, of course!), it's 9x17mm; wikipedia led me astray.  I think that Kurz and Corto translate as "short", not positive.

Most people simply say the German Kurtz.

Because when you use the Italian Corto, it requires that you use both hands.

I'm only half-Italian, so I only need one hand to say "Corto"
