That is an artillery primer for large guns firing separately loaded ammunition such as the 8" Howitzer, 155mm Gun, 175mm Gun, etc. What looks like the primer in the base is actually a captive firing pin that strikes the conventional primer located under it. The body is charged with black powder...

What j miller said. The narrow top groove is the crimp groove. You are sizing the bullet too deep, adjust the stop so the top groove does not get lube in it.

Ok, Im hearing conflicting opinions on this and I'd like to know the truth. Are the Marlin 1894 colt 45 barrel chambers oversized to todays modern 45 brass?

In the early 1950s Marlin re-designed the trigger from a one piece to a two piece. It is part of the safety mechanism which prevents the rifle from firing unless the lever is held completely closed. What you observe is completely normal for each respective time of manufacture.

1) Marlin didn't make a lot of them because they didn't sell well.
2) Those who bought them did so because they realized what a neat little gun they were.
