IMG_1417.JPG Is anybody familiar with this headstamp that I found while sorting through a box of mixed brass? It's supposed to be NATO brass but doesn't have the NATO cross. Weights were in the 162-163gr range.

I also found three distinct Hornady headstamps (sorry, no pic). One was clearly identified as "Hornady Match" and weighed around 164gr, another just identified as "Hornady 308 WIN" was also around 164gr but the third one identified was also identified "Hornady 308 WIN" but had a dot before and after the word "Hornady". I thought this one was interesting because it weighed 184-187gr. Five cases of each were weighed. Is this last one just a basic Hornady brass case and if so, why so heavy? Of the fourteen headstamps I found, the only other one that consistently weighed over 180gr was CBC which is Brazilian.
