cartridge OK to use?

I didn't see anyone say anything, but the cannualre (bottom part) and where the shape of the cartridges is different.

I agree with the info above......I only shoot my reloads in my guns. If you are a reloader, you can salvage the brass and projectiles(if they measure out to be correct). Dump the powder and start over.

I have loaded many Ks of 30 Luger brass, and it can be tricky at times, and neck tension is paramount!!

Yes, the round on the right is rimmed. The shoulder is different shape, and the OAL is just nuts. I, too, don't think it's a 7.65 Parabellum.
