Can you please post a link to the survey? I have trouble finding it. Also I wonder if online order can be used for the survey. Thanks!

I think this is Hirtenburger, but can you confirm once you have shot some if it is boxer or berdan. (I think it is the latter, but would be grateful for the confirmation.)

Alll the Hirtenberger that comes in 240 cardboard boxes are Berdan.

The ''Boxer'' ammo comes in 360 round polyester sealed battlepacks....

I have bought this ammo in the 240 cardboard box. If it's 1980 production it is boxer primed. Single flash hole in case, crimped in primer. It comes on sale regularly. Shoots decent.

Not true. Had some 240 cardboard battle packs from Tenda ( headstamp 80) that were boxer primed. Already shot, reloaded and ready again...

HP80 (in the OP link) are boxer primed. I have a few
The question is how good the brass is?

Looks like hirtenburger. The stuff I have is boxer primed, but crimped primers. Boo.

I'll answer my own question: I loaded today 16 HM 80 brass and 15 of them have what the neck turners call the "donut" at the base of the neck. That's a thicker ring of brass where the neck meets the shoulder.
It first became apparent when I was seating the bullets then I could get a feel of the donut by exploring the inside of the neck with a straightened paperclip.

 

[rosconow]

I've reloaded 200 of the 80 headstamp. I haven't noticed a donut, but will look into it.

All military ammo is crimped.
Most stuff destined for MGs is already linked, but not always.

I've been able to push out the primers and seat new ones on my loadmaster so the crimped primers shouldn't be an issue for you guys who reload
