I will try asking this question again since it was pretty much ignorred when I asked it a few months ago. Is anyone updating the headstamp guide? There are a lot of headstamps that have not been entered going back almost 2 years, at least.

Ed,

Jill Errickson is in charge of the HSG now.  I will send her an email inquiry about it.

Recently observed head stamp from Federal Cartridge.

I didn't see this headstamp posted anywhere.  It certainly doesn't look to be a new one.

[50M2HB]

New US military 7.62 (7.62x51, aka .308 Winchester) caliber ammunition, DoD designation Mk319 Barrier Ball, civilian designation (by Federal Cartridge Co) T762TNB1.  Open Tip Match design with more than just a plain copper jacket around a lead core, this one is basically a solid copper open tip match (with boattail base) design hollowed out for a small lead core.  Upper portion of the projectile is often torn away on impact, but the base section which is solid copper will continue penetrating as a cylindrical slug.  Designed for better intermediate barrier penetration with an ability to still penetrate tissue located behind the barrier.  NOT an armor penetrating design, intended for only light intermediate barriers, glass, wood, thin sheet metal, etc.  Note the distinctive twin, smooth, bullet cannelures on the lighter than normal 130 grain projectile.  Purple primer sealant and black case mouth sealant for waterproofing.  Brass case, brass percussion boxer (presumably non-corrosive) primer, no primer crimp, headstamp FC 10.  Civilian packaging is white cardboard 20 round boxes, with black printing.  Lot numbers vary, some the traditional DoD style:  FC 10C700-006 and some marked V37N542.

Co-Worker found this on MidwayUSA for $5/box. Then it was $9/box....    Anyways, we traded him a box for a box.
