Also, later, I worked for the USAF and legitimately acquired a bunch of their brass that was headstamped WCC, mostly late '70s. This was the 110 gr. loading with just a little of the nose of the FMJ bullet sticking out of a heavily roll crimped case. Some lots had crimped primers, some did not. Again, it seems thicker. Maybe one of these long cold winter nights I'll break out the calipers and do some measuring.
