7.92mm step

Hi TonyE,
Do you know the head stamp for the Spanish rounds as the ammo that is being used more & more at present in my neck of the woods is headstamped T,both ball & blank have a black annulus, the other 5.56mm in use is from FNB(Belgium) & CBC(Brazil) for 7.62mm,I have not yet found out were the ammo marked T comes from, they also come with a horrid plastic stripper clip!

Cheers Tony

The Spanish ammunition from Santa Barbara is headstamped "SB date Nato mark" as far as I remember.

I would be interested in a round of each of these "bought-in" types if possible, as they are all now British military issue.

Your question about the "T" headstamp has already been answered, and this was the RUAG ammo I mentioned in my previous post. RUAG seem to be taking over in Europe in every sense of the word. They are also supplying the .338 Lapua Magnum ammo for the new sniper rifle.

Regards
TonyE
