Certain old military cases have two small flame holes instead of one.

Those are Berdan primers. The standard brass that can be reloaded with the single hole are Boxer Primed.

Many years ago as a teenager I did some reloading of Berdan primed cartridges. It is now really hard to find anybody who manufactures and sells them for the reloading crowd.

You forgot to mention what a pain they are to seat in the primer pocket!

LOL
