SBMC headstamp??
Found 50 cases with a SBMC headstamp.
They cleaned up OK and seem to load OK but on final inspection the primers were not seating properly (-002" to -004"). I use a Dillon progressive loader and ran them thru a 2nd time with no better results. The primers are protruding .001" to .002" above the base. Is this stuff Sellier & Bellot or something weird? All the other cases (LC, WCC, PMC etc.) were fine. |

Squires Bingham/Arms Corporation of the Philippines(Armscor), just a quick internet search says the stuff is boxer primed, non corrosive and reloadable
a couple of good links that should be in all range brass collectors favorites/bookmarks http://www.afte.org/ExamResources/ga...92c372e0f6465c http://cartridgecollectors.org/?page=headstampcodes try using a hand primer, my Hornady LnL will not prime Winchester .204 cases but the same shell plate etc will prime Hornady .204 and all .223 that I have ran through it fine.
