Odd Head Stamp

[Modoc]

Getting ready to do some load development for the 35 Whelen and pulled a quick pause. Most of my brass looks to be formed from 30-06 of various headstamp. So, sit down and sort for load consistency. Luckily there are two boxes of Remington factory 2x fired. As to the rest, there are Norma, WW Western, WCC-55, LC-67, and the oddball DAC-51. The DAC has a triangle inside the “C”.

Anyone have an idea who made it?

The mixed head stamp will be loaded as practice ammo with the Remington used for my hunting loads with premium bullets.

.450 martini was also made sold by them. They were making cartridges that kept all those beautiful colonial guns in Africa, the Near East and other places “fed”. Then Along came the cheap AK along with unlimited almost free ammo…. and suddenly your average Masai or Nepalese didn’t need .577 Snider shells any more. Go figger! Shame, too. Good ammo!!
