Hi guys! Im new to reloading and I was wondering what kind of brass this was.
LC 74(With nato circle and crosshairs)
IVI 70(Nato)
WRA 68(Nato)-this one is unique. All others are crimped so I know there military, but this ones not crimped
IVI 70 (Nato)
WRA 68 (Nato)
IVI 70 (Nato)

there seems to be allot to learn about headstamps I presume. Can anyone give me a short lesson on them? Thanks!
