The packaging specifies the caliber and bullet type, and it bears “MADE IN USA” and bilingual safety warnings. The cartridges feature brass casings with headstamps clearly reading “WCC 14,” indicating production by Western Cartridge Company (a division of Winchester) in 2014. The primer pockets exhibit a purple sealant, consistent with military-style specifications. One box displays an alphanumeric code stamped on the underside reading “HD61 2854.”.
