Not sure what you're looking for. The loaded round doesn't look any different than any other 9mm ammo from the outside. The step is on the inside, as the photo I posted shows.

When picking up range brass, just look inside. Or do it while you're handloading. It's very easy to see that step on the inside. Can't miss it.

Don't buy any ammo headstamped IMT or AMMOLOAD if you intend to use the brass again. There may be other headstamps/brands from the same case manufacturer as well that I didn't find in my research. But one look inside a fired case, and you'll know the stuff right away.
