I going through my once fired brass for the last 15 years. Thought it would be easy guess not.

223 questions: some are stamped T W 2 7
some are T W 6 9
I believe if they have W C C ## they are Winchester? Also some are stamped L C # # some are L C C # # are they both lake city?

308 ?'s

I have some CAVIM, but also some are 308W and 82 with 2 small circles stamped as well. Also some are WCC 94 with a crosshairs, and a few are stamped FNM 76-28 with crosshairs.

Just curious to what it all is.
