I recently received a large batch of once-fired 223 cases of various headstamps, most of which I recognized, but some I had no clue as to the manufacturer.  Anyone know what the following headstamps are?

O.F.L. 223 Rem
H1 5.56
CBC- Magtech?
MAL 5.56- Malaysian?
TZZ
RORG- Radway Green?
C J (I think) 5.56 various years
AD 5.56

Of course, I threw out a handful of Amerc crap.  Is the rest of this stuff decent brass?

Haven't shot TZZ in 5.56, but in 7.62 and 45acp, it's pretty damned good.  It's from Israel.

Thanks for the link.  I was able to locate everything but the O.F.L. headstamp.  It is stamped 223 Rem and the primer is not crimped or sealed.  Was hoping to find out the manufacturer of this brass, as the majority is this headstamp.

Thanks. Using that link, I determined that it is not O.F.L., but G.F.L., which is apparantly Fiochi.  Interesting since all of the Fiocchi brass I've seen has been marked FiocchiUsa.  I guess that is a good thing, since they make quality brass.
