Help ID this 5.56mm NATO brass

[avan47]

Will someone please help identify who makes this brass, and what country it is from. The one on the left is berdan primed, and the one on the right has a very small diameter flash hole which will not permit the use of a standard size primer punch.

IK Igman Zavod, Konjic, Yugoslavia.. SB Arms Corporation of the Philippines, (formally Squires Bingham Co.) Marikina, Republic of the Philippines. http://www.cartridgecollectors.org/headstampcodes There are 4 SB head stamps listed ?

The NATO "cross in circle" rules out Squires Bingham, my guess (and it's only a guess) is Spanish made Santa Barbara. The overall appearance of the headstamp and the three stab crimps look a lot like the Santa Barbara 7.62x51 I've seen.

I scrap the IK headstamp as wel as a few others like wolf, sadu, s&b. Its all too thick for my use in 300blk. May be fine as a 223 but case capacity is something to take into consideration.

Ok, Thanks for the information. Just very curious, I scrap them both also. Th IK headstamp cannot be deprimed with a standard die set. the flash hole is too small.
