[ARCHIVED THREAD] - OLC6 brass

Posted: 1/9/2011 1:28:56 PM EDT

I went on a machine gun shoot recently and the man who owned the machine guns said I was free to take all of the brass I found for reloading. After I got home and inspected the cases I noticed about half of what I found was O L C 6 marked clockwise on the bottom of the case. I tried searching for information regarding who made this brass, I figured it was lake city but I am not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

You sure it isn't L C 6 0 ? Yes, that be Lake City.

Well, the markings were all evenly spaced so I just started from the "O" which was olc6 but starting from "L" makes it L C 6 O so yeah I guess it is Lake city, thanks for the help!

What caliber are we talking about?

.223 presumably (since I didn't check before I fired what type of ammo it was)

That would be negative ghostrider.

223 came around in '64

It's probably LC 09

Like this?

L C
0 9

Lake City, 2009.

Surprised he wasn't saving it to reload himself.
