Just received two lots of 500 once fired cases from two different sellers. When de-capping them, with cases head stamped WCC, the primers remove with noticeably less effort than the LC cases and after minimally swaging of the primer pockets, Winchester large rifle primers seat with noticeably less effort in the WCC cases than LC and the other headstamped cases. Anyone else notice this?
I've have small base sized the cases as recommended by other board members but not yet loaded them up.
Also I notice that almost all the cases have a dent on the case body near the shoulder (I'm assuming from ejection from a MG). The dent seems to iron out somewhat with SB sizing, but I was wondering does this dent reduce the serviceable life of the case?
Finally, Is there a source of info to tell what the various manufactures are based on the headstamp?
