I knew that
I wasn't aware commercial Winchester was in LC cases until today

Sharezies ? Eh I am down !

then just a question, does your Winchester 9mm, 5.56 and 7.62 have LC head stamps?
my stuff from just 3 years ago doesn't

Winchester got the contract back in 19, probably started operating in 2020. Not sure if they do their 9mm there, but their 7.62x51 of current will be LC stamped. They also don't have to do everything there. They are able to sell their overrun from there to us pleebs though since they have the crowns consent to do so..

before that I think it was Federal, the ammunition company i mean

I acquired a case of LC M118LR on an over run about 4 years ago
you won't find a finer 7.62 for your long range shooting
as you see, it has a lot number, so not aftermarket or seconds
