I bought an order of .223/5.56 brass recently. Mixed head stamps.
I'm working up loads with LEE and Lyman 55gr. lead cast using WW'S.
After separating the sooty annealed brass from the unannealed brass about 90% of unannealed brass is FC brass head stamped as follows:
FC with 2 dot on either side of the FC and 223 REM at the bottom;
FC without the dots BUT has a year stamp and 223 REM at the bottom
and FC no dots and no date and 223 REM at the bottom.
Are these FC brass crimped with a military crimp??
Thanks
JAMES
