Lake City ammo is not polished brass.
In fact, none of the .mil ammo is polished, other than the Black Hills 308& 300WinMag match ammo for the snipers.
If they do not have a NATO headstamp, then they are not true NATO ammo. The .mil uses the stuff, they simply use it for training, and do not ship it out to the theatre. Any ammo not NATO marked is a no-no for us. The other guys?? They do not adhere to anything NATO, so anything might wind up in their rifles.
Lake City ammo is simply great stuff. Save the brass, it is of THE highest quality and is a touch thicker, so it will take more reloads before you toss it.
