It appears to have green sealer around the primer.

So is it any good?

Then I'd suspect it's the "Olympic" choice listed above IIRC they use the green sealant.

Been quite some time since I shot any Olympic ammo, the last was some M855 type, (which had green sealant) as to the "is it any good" question......

Your the one with the ammo, how about you tell us how it shoots and functions....

ps - perhaps the tacked Ammo Review threads above might help, seems at one time some of the Olympic ammo had issues w/ their brass being outta spec, but that was a while back.

Definitely Olympic...

At least the 99 seems better than most Olympic
