308
Today I purchased a 788 Remington in 308 and the guy gave me some military ammo marked 7.62 mm, NATO made at TWIN CITIES ARMY AMMUNITION PLANT, there is also a box marked HI-VEL INC. by the head stamps it appears they used military brass? Most is marked WRA,( Winchester)some is stamped LC,(Lake City) one is TW(Twin Cities) I never heard of them but apparently they are still in business in UTAH.

doesnt look like its still producing ammo. better check what date the ammo was made...if its WWll vintage, it may have corrosive primers--cam |

If I recall correctly, 308/7.62 should all be non-corrosive, as it predates WWII. I have found some LC, TW. RA, etc. brass for 30-06 that are definitely corrosiove. Conversion to non-corrosive priming compounds start in 1953. Even have some RA43 with a larger than normal large primer. Doesn't the U.S. military brass have dates on them?
