info on IMI cases

[eltorro]

the title says it all. I have some 308 IMI cases. Are they GI or commercial?

Israel Military Industries.

TZZ headstamp is military, IMI is commercial.

NATO ammo has the + inside a circle logo on it, regardless of manufacturer, IIRC

I was very interested in the case's internal volume.... should I reload them like the regular - commercial ones, or like the military...... (reduced load)

there's no + sign on the head.
The only markings are 308 and IMI

Always start with a reduced load. Every case is different. 308 is a commercial round. Military cases are not marked with calibre. But they may be made to military specs, who knows. Always work up a new load with new components.
