I picked up some 308 cases at the range to reload. They have a FNM L 92-12 L21A1 headstamp. I know they are Portugese military surplus, but have seen conflicting information that they may or may not be Boxer primed. Can anybody advise what type of primer they have?
Thanks

  I don't know what kind of primers the Portygees use but you can find out yourself.
  Get under a strong light or in the sunshine and look down inside a fired case.
  How many flashholes?
  One in the center = Boxer
  Two = most common Berdan
  One offcenter, three, etc., = other Berdan.
