What headstamp would I be looking for on the Czech ammo? I have a couple crates that got opened and moved into ammo cans, so they aren't in original packaging. If one of the ones I have opened is the Czech, I would have no issue pulling one and measuring for you

Thanks

This is correct.

Bxn is the code for Sellier&Bellot ....76 is year of production

Well, hopefully this answers some questions. I had 2 open cans, one Chinese (headstamp 71 66) and one [based on info above] Czech (headstamp bxn 78). I took some pictures and created a couple collages to save me from having to upload a tonne of pictures and instead have to upload only 4. Hope this helps

Between 25-25.5gr of H4198 is perfect with the 122-125gr bullet.

Edited post to add a picture of the primed case weight. You're lucky it's crappy and snowing outside and I am looking for ways to burn my day
