Can't get a decent pic with the crappy camera.

FC brass with a number at 3 and 9 o'clock,
year at the 6 position. All 2012.

Various numbers on the 4 I found.

Most likely FC ammo sold under Independence brand,

made in Israel. Federal told me last week they send

cartridge cups and components to Israel, I assume IMI,

they form the cartridge, assemble the ammo, then export

finished product to US. This is for Independence 5.56x45

ammo. Other calibers are made in other factories. I can't

determine if this brass has bad primer pockets like FC AE223,

I would guess it's GTG if IMI formed the catridge. Have 200+

pcs of the stuff, sure would like to know if it's really OK.

Thanks John. I sized them with no problem but never came across
the headstamp and the numbers. Doing PP's tomorrow.

It was 200 free 1x so I figured it should be GTG.
