[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Headstamp question

Hi all,

I'm trying to ID the headstamps on some ammo I came across. I've seen the lists, but so far I can't put a picture with a name. Lets try this... If you click the Bohica link, bohica page there is a picture of varioius headstamps lined up in a row. I'm trying to identify the seventh from the left - The one with symbols that look like a "K" and pi. Also right above the word "bohica".

If you can help, it will be appreciated.

Josh

It's Hebrew for the Israeli TZ brass.

The TZ, TZZ, IMI stuff is great!
The .50BMG stuff with the Hebrew characters '70s era isn't that great. Too brittle, it tends to crack/split quickly.

Here's a pic of one that blew in a M2HB:

Thanks MrBen.

I am new to the .50 world, but something tells me that case is not supposed to look like that...

Yeah, 50 BMG ammo/brass with a headstamp in Hebrew characters is crap. Stay away. Stay a long way away.
