Help identifying this .223rem case
fortunateComa:
I bought flat box of 223 brass (some 200+ ) tarnished but good shape, no dents or cracks. Now for my two part question, can anyone identify the headstamp on these, they are all the same. Question #2: 20 of them are loaded, can the powder be reused, not going to reuse the bullets as they look terrible, powder looks good, smells good and is ball powder. I'm posting 2 pics. Any opinions ?

Lake City 1971 M193 Vietnam Era
Obviously the brass has been reloaded

Thanks, I figured it was Lake City wasn't sure. Now about the powder reuse or not? Took one apart, ball powder, looks good and not bad smell, weighed out at 24.3 grs.
Dan W:
How are you going to identify the powder? I would not reuse it myself...20 rounds are not worth that to me
fortunateComa:
Ok thanks, trash the powder, bullets and primers. Clean the brass really good, reload and have fun!
