Sportsmens guide has 200 rounds linked (product #WX2-96534) with a FNM headstamp that they list as reloadable but as far as i know the FNM headstamp is Port and is not reloadable. when i called to check on this i was told it was Belgium and was reloadable. the problem i am haveing is that they also list Belgium ammo (LX5KW-20139) with a FN headstamp and state it is not reloadable. so is either ammo reloadable and if so which one. also am i wrong that the FNM headstamp is Port and FN Belgium?

Think: FNM=BERDAN!

The stuff ain't reloadable (with conventional dies).

They are technically/legally correct to say it could  be re-loadable BUT they don't tell you that it will require gosh-awful expensive tooling to get out primers with two flash holes! And even with this special "Berdan-depriming tooling" it's a Royal pain in the butt.

GO WITH BOXER STUFF!

thats what i thought but thanks for confirming it. if you call them they will tell you it is boxer primed and from Belgium. just shows what they know (not much) about what they have as i am almost positive it is Port being it has a FNM headstamp.

I have reloaded FNM 5.56mm cases that WERE BOXER primed.  Did not like them though because of thick cases walls pressures were higher than same loads in LC or WCC brass.
