Stamped primers?

[Camo]

I have acquired a few 6.5 carcano rounds and I noticed they all have a weird stamp on the primer. I’ve never seen this before.

Maybe it is for no lead base or something.

I have had some bench rest primers with B on them or was it BR.
I have slept since then.. But I think it was just a B

I don’t own a 6.5 so I was going to pull these apart. I only have four of them but I noticed the stamp on the primer and just thought it was interest

I read NP was what Norma did back in the day on their primers.
Norma Precision.
Remington used HF for leadless.
Magtech used CR for Clean Range.

You may have googled and found that though.

Pretty cool though.

Those are usually just the loader's mark...whatever company loaded it. Like a maker's mark on leather or jewelry or similar.

Remember awhile ago when their state government tried to pass a law that handguns sold in California-NTM required firing pins to be designed so that they would micro-stamp the primer with identifying info about the gun? - Hmmm, makes 'ya wonder how far that requirement spread.

Pretty sure the NP for Norma Precision doesn't apply to newsom's bullsh*t.

Probably, but in my time I've fired a LOT of ammo in various calibers from several manufacturers, and NONE of them ever had primer markings. Is that some sort of new thing these days with ammo producers, or is the 'primer marking' thing being test marketed for future acceptance by the peasants?
