223 brass questions?

[Doug30racer]

i have 223 rem brass with a few different headstamps and was wondering if they are military or not .

1st is. Speer 10
2nd is. 223 rem fc 11
3rd is. fc 06
4th is lc 10
5th is lc 12
6th is lc 78

Looks like it is all military. I have never found any speer with a date mark and spells military use or law enforcement. Which means you will have crimped primer pockets. Your lc 78 may or may not be crimped because they didn't crimp back then on lc only.

I think you may be mistaken about the LC78 statement, I have some LC73 which is crimped.

Once you size them you will know, a primer won't fit until you take the crimp out.

I have they all ready to be loaded, just looking for a place to start being it has been -20 degrees outside and testing is a bit chilly
