Carbine ammo suppliers

I opened one of my cases of brass today and found some odd ( to me ) head stamps. Along with the usual WCC and LC, there are some EC 43 and PC 43 marked brass. Who made these?
Thanks

I found this site very helpful in identifying the oddball headstamps I come across sometime...

Headstamp Codes on Small Arms Ammunition

I think yours would be Evansville Ordnance Plant (Chrysler), Evansville, OH and Peters Cartridge Company, Cincinnati, OH plus year codes if I am reading the reference correctly....

Ed, my anti-virus software several days ago balked at going to Headstamp Codes on Small Arms Ammunition
It was listed as a "bad-guy" sort of site installing really bad stuff on a PC for later use.
Have you had any problems with it?

Anyone else?

Thanks TR, for the prompt reply and the link. I found several thousand carbine hulls in my basement storage area and started to deprime some. Also found lots of .45 ACP brass. It was a good day.

jdavison,

The "EC 43" marked cases should be steel and not brass. Suggest you take a pass on reloading those.

Actually, all of the cases are brass. I have some steel cases in my collection that are loaded. Thanks for the link Skip. Now I know what the cases with the pointed bullets are for.

EC43 should be Brass! EC44 should be steel......

My anti-virus wouldn't let me go there either. Put up a big red flag.

Phil/Denny, I just went there again with McAfee and did a check with the McAfee Site Advisor. It says its good. It does show it has an online affiliation with PayPal, but it shows as testing as good. guess I will be running a full scan tonight just to make sure.

I have been using that site for quite a while now with my reloading. Hope I didn't send anyone to a bad sight!

Thanks for the concern.
