Nickel plated cases.
Case head says

R -dot- P
38 SPL +P

The bullets have a partial jacket that goes up and down about 2/3 the way up the bullet in a sawtooth pattern. The lead portion is pretty standard and continues the curve of the bullet from the jacket with a decently wide opening.

Only thing I noticed that makes me cock an eyebrow is several of the rounds are different heights. In most the cannelure is right above the edge of the case while in a few it is either partially within the case or just inside of the case. Bullet setback or something I wonder?

Sorry for the ****** pictures, my phone's my camera and it's begging for replacement.
