It is a cold formed 8 (ish) mm parent case with a 6mm bullet.
The crimp is used for headspacing.

Just a guess. I know less about this stuff than anyone else but thought might try.

It is an 8mm bullet allright. Not 6 mm.

Bingo... the seating die was screwed in too low, hence the shoulder collapsed completely.. Not paying attention while loading 8x60S ammo... :cheers:
