FC Nato 308 Brass?

[HK Dave]

Hey folks, was looking through some old bags of once fired brass, and found one where all the brass is marked FC 12 with a nato cross?

I'm guessing this is different from FC 308 brass?

Does anyone know the history behind FC military brass? I'm thinking it's mil brass anyhow. Is it similar to Lake City?

[Noonanda]

Yes, it is Federal 7.62 nato brass made in 2012. Most likely it will have crimped in primers, you can load it similar to Lake city brass

Yep, any time you see the NATO cross with something that size, it's going to be 7.62x51 NATO.

Thanks guys... gonna weigh it and compare it to my LC stuff. Hopefully it's interchangeable.

I have 10s of thousands of both and the load data is interchaingable unless you are preping the brass to shoot in long rang matches like F-Class or BR. but if you are runing them through a gun like a SR-25 or any semi auto you are good with most any data you finn in any reloading books.

Running them through an OBR, so technically am preparing precision ammo.
