This is some brass that I found in my bucket while getting ready to reload. As you can tell it is Berdan, not Boxer, primed. As you can also tell, I almost ruined a perfectly good sizing die figuring this out....
Can someone identify the headstamp? I want to be sure I never buy this again. The primer is crimped in, with blue sealant. The stamp has a crosshair, and 01-CG-09. |

Never mind, I found it.
It's the Carl Gustav stuff. Mods, you can leave this up for reference or delete it. Your call. |

The 'cross-hair' is the NATO mark.

Also notice the primer crimp, only found on NATO spec ammo. I believe CG is the only manfg. to make berdan primed .223/5.56, I almost bought a load of it before I figured that out.

I am just glad I didn't destroy my new dies on what I think was the 5th case I put through them. Now I have sorted all of these out and put them in the recycle bucket.
I had noticed the primer crimps on some of the other rounds, didn't know that was a NATO spec. Thanks for the info and the responses. |
