Correctly head stamped 7mm TCU brass.
Posted: Tue Dec 13, 2011 1:28 pm
Hello List,
Here in The Netherlands we have a discussion going on with some legal authorities about the correctness of a head stamp on brass.
Especially 7mm TCU.
Like most of us we transform .233 REM brass to 7mm TCU by necking up and fire forming.
The result is (as you guessed) a 7mm TCU cartridge but head stamped ‘.223 REM’. (or equivalent)
Googling around the web shows lots of URL’s were 7mm TCU brass is offered and some state that the brass is correctly head-stamped.
But….. no images or informational facts about the verbatim text of the head stamp seems to be available.
I’ve tried to contact some of the resources but without any results.
Does anyone know what the verbatim text of a so called correct head stamp (for 7 TCU brass) is comprised of ?
And does anyone have an image of such a head stamp.
Thanks for your help !
