Does anyone have any experience with 308 brass with headstamp T I was at the range yesterday, and I stopped at the part where the police train, in the trash can were cases of strange 308 ammo boxes that said Snipers Choice 168 grain, I looked out on the range and saw a bunch of brass and went out there, my gosh, there were literally thousands of these laying everywhere, I shoot 308 so I grabbed as much as I could, brought it home, tumbled it, and now wondering if it is quality match grade brass or junk?? From what I can find I think it is made by Tikka.

Spanish, Swiss, or Tula (Russian)
I would check them with a magnet. If they stick they are garbage. A lot of Russian brass is actually steel, and not reloadable.

"...where the police train..." Cops think their mommy's follow 'em around cleaning up after 'em. The tend to make a huge mess on a range and leave. Happened years ago on a CF(Canadian Army) range I was running. Sad part was they left 2500ish 9mm cases with the primers sealed in. Decapper just pooped off the end and left the rest.
Anyway, cops use ammo they're told to use. It's usually purchased by tender and is the lowest bid. Absolutely test with a magnet.
Tikka is Finnish, but they sell Sako branded stuff too.
