30-06 head stamp

Post by roughcreek »

I bought some 30-06 brass some time ago, just opened box. Its new brass with A head stamp OF WN LC 78. I can't find the WN anywhere. Any one have the answer?

Thanks, Roughcreek

Are you sure it's 30-06? I've collected dozens of unopened boxes of N.M. ammo starting in 1924 and the latest box of 30-06 is from (going from memory) around 1964.....after that date it was all .308.
