I just picked up 21 pounds of mixed Lupua brass for 1.80 a pound all looks to be once fired marked with one sharpe stripe on the head stamp. So far it is 308, 223, and 6.5x47 i haven't looked through it all yet.

Have you sectioned any of them yet? Just curious as to why it was marked.

Yea, you definitely want to get a look at the insides of some of those cases. They might br a major score ot they might be scrap brass.

looking through the brass I found that half the 308 were sized and primed. A few junk cases but not many. The thing that has me wondering is there a few 308 cases that have the neck sized down to 6,5 is this a wildcat that I haven't heard of. The case length is the same as 308.

The .308 necked down to 6.5mm is called a .260 Remington.
