Stepped cases are the ones that have thicker brass or an insert. Here's a photo:Describe "Stepped Cases"? Bulged, yes, never seen one that was noticeably bulged though.
I haven't been around many out door ranges for some time. We stop by the Beaver Dam Pit when we go mushroom hunting though. There's nothing there in the way of brass, unless you want .22. Or some 9mm flies under a boulder. I figure since the great scamdemic hit brass pickens are pretty scarce in the great outdoors aren't they?
Here's some of bulged brass: One of these is from @nubus. Thread at the link.
I've had some brass do the same thing. You can have some small bulges that will actually pass through the resizing die if you don't have it turned all the way down. That's another reason for a closer inspection, using a case gauge, and plunk testing in the gun you'll be using with that ammo.
