The antique Winchester brass have the protrusion, allowing for the length of the primer. The reproduction Parker lacks the protrusion, the heads are completely thick.
I may try 19 grains of Red Dot with the traditional nitro wad and lubed vegetable wads with the repro brass.
Difficult to see, the first photo is the antique Winchester hull, second is a repro.
