Whats the weirdest headstamp you have ever seen?

Makes perfect sense to me. Just know what I was told, did see the brass but have no first hand knowledge of its origin or actual reason for existing.
They call it basic brass. Rws is the most popular brand for that. I have a bunch of belted mag basic ive made into various magnum cases. Rws is some of the best brass on the market. Starline makes a few basic cases too
 
The brass I was sorting to reload will be 69 grain matchkings. I don't think my 9 twist will stabilize 77gr bullets. But the 73 grain Bergers shoot good.

I have a 9" twist 20" R700 and it shoots the 77smk just as good as the 69smk. And really likes the Hornady 75gr bthp.

The 77smk and the 77cc Nosler will both shoot in a 1-9" twist. They shoot small at shorter distances 300 yards. They will hammer steel out to 700 if they are pushed. No weird headstamp brass to report, LC, Remington, Winchester for me. I'm going to Lapua for 600 yard f class in my .223 this year.
 
I believe these were from the Canadian Dominion Cartridge Co.

A Lebel case I found in an old homestead in New Mexico while metal detecting. That reminds me that I don't even know where it is at. The owner of the ranch said the old house had been vacant since his family had bought the ranch in 1910.
