Brass Identification
I was trying to ID some new brass and came across this website. Thought I'd share it.

"Headstamp Codes
Codes are listed by number codes, then in alphabetical order from A to Z, followed by a list of suspect codes at the end.
*Note 1- Headstamps often contain multiple pieces of information. The maker is almost always identified. Military ammunition usually includes date information, and civilian ammunition often has caliber information. Sometimes dates are fairly obvious (44 = 1944; 72 = 1972; 6 12 = June 1912, etc.). Sometimes the caliber information is either spelled out or abbreviated (30-06; 38 SPL, etc.) and other times, such as on German made DWM ammunition, a catalog number code is used for the caliber. "
