Federal and Winchester make all of the 9mm (M882).

All of the current-production .223 and .308 is Winchester or Lake City (LC is a government arsenal).

Radford and Twin Cities are former government arsenals, so you may see old .30-06, .45ACP, .50BMG, or other calibers with their headstamps.

IMI (Israeli Military Industries) supplies ammo to US troops in the region sometimes, as it's far easier to ship from, say, Israel to Saudi than from the US.
