Need help identifying this ammo please....

[dreamdrummr]

Hey everyone, a friend of mine gave me 350 rounds of .308 ammo and I was wondering if anyone can help me identify it. It has a NATO mark, 69, and looks like IVI.
Can anyone tell me if this is corrosive, reloadable, etc.
Is there a website you can go to that would have more info on brass?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Canadian, should be non-corrosive.

In 1969 Canada still had Dominion Arsenals (DA) IVI came around 1071 or 1972. It will be marked IVI.

Thanks a lot guys!
I tried to shoot these in my gun today, got a 3 inch group at a hundred yards.
Looks like I will be breaking them down and loading them with varget and bergers!
