    Anything marked 80 or newer is boxer primed, the older 74 stuff is berdan primed. They switched over to boxer primers somewhere in 78/79.....

    I bought this stuff in a certain "Center" for "shooting" that is located in Calgary. They told me they are boxer. I bought a case and found out they were Berdan
    Called them and they said "huh....must change from lot to lot"

    Buyer beware on these.

    Question "Green tipped" 308??????

I always wait on "the other guy", and watch the better prices spring up elsewhere. Happens every time. The other guy is going to give himself a coronary soon me thinks.
    Some 223 is produced with green tips.
    I would love to hear more details about green tipped Lake City 7.62x51 ammo, pics would be swell.
