Good luck. You might try one of the smaller specialty ammo/case makers and see if they will make a run for you. I don't think you will find anything from the bigger makers because of liability/wrong cartridge/caliber, wrong gun. Think .222 and .223, heck someone would JAM a cartridge in something if it was close and sue if it hurt them. |

Yeah, I figured no headstamp brass is probably as good as it will get. |

What's the purpose? Would any uncommon headstamp work?

I'd really like it to be blank, but I guess if it had a small headstamp with just the caliber it would be OK. |

Why? Are you going behind enemy lines or something?

I've been shooting since 1997, so I know that isn't a long time. But I have never seen unmarked brass. Have you been drinking or something?

I've heard that Starline will make brass with a custom headstamp if you place a large enough order (10k peices if memory serves). Not sure how much it costs to do that compared to standard headstamps or if there is a set-up fee. I also don't know if no headstamp at all is something they will do or not. Starline brass is good stuff though. |

I looked over the website last night, and they only appear to do pistol brass. |

Maybe he is an "Operator" and needs clean ammo?

why why why. How about... none of your damn business? Jebus.
Since everyone wants to know why, I'll make something up. I'm a cowboy On a steel horse I ride And I'm wanted Dead or alive I walk these streets A loaded six string on my back I'm playing for keeps And I might not make it back That's why. |

I came across an odd headstamp my last range session. I'm guessing it came from Black Hills BB.
It is .223/5.56 but the only thing on the headstamp is Nato cross and '04. I'm guessing you wouldn't be interested in having a date on the HS for obvious reasons  . Just thought it was interesting. I posted this question last week and only got one anwser on ID. Maybe someone else knows who Mfg. this? Someone thought it was LC.

what I'm really looking for is the maximum contiguous space to do some engraving as a gift. An 04 (+) might work, but all of the headstamps I've seen have lots of dead space between the imprints. |

It's not 5.56 but AIM Surplus was selling some no headstamp WW2 8mm ammo for a buck fifty per 15 rounds a bit ago. They might still have some of it.

It would be a cartridge, not a bullet, but same thing. I think I'm just going to have them made out of solid brass on a lathe. |

I assume you would just be talking decorative peices then. I don't think you could make functional brass for a small bottleneck cartridge like .223 Rem that way. Or if you did it would be probably be incredibly expensive. |
