fryboy,

That's not the ATF. It's the Association of Firearm and Toolmark Examiners, which is made up of forensic examiners from all over the country, and probably the world. Completely different group of people from the ATF.

Hope this helps.

Here is another good source of headstamp information: http://cartridgecollectors.org/?page=headstampcodes

This one is the International Ammunition Association, Inc.

Hope this helps.

I am led to believe that is Prvi Partisan ammo, who are still manufacturing today. Excellent stuff.
