I received a bunch of these once-fired Winchester .308 Win cases and have never seen a Winchester headstamp quite like this. I wonder if anyone is familiar with it. Is it a new style? What "product line" does it come from?
I note the "font" is much smaller and more deeply imprinted than the Winchester headstamps I am used to seeing. There is a small dot between "308" and "WIN", and a slight bevel to the primer side of the flash hole.
To check their precision, I randomly chose 20 and measured case neck thickness variation. Half were under .001 variance and none were greater than .002, which is better than I typically see from "non-boutique" cases. Overall, they have the look of greater precision than the Winchester cases I am used to.
So what Winchester ammo line are these from?
Thanks in advance,
Rex
