Scamp markings

Some US GI cartridge cases are run on SCAMP (Small Caliber Ammunition Modernization Program) lines. This is HIGH speed cartridge case making equipment. Several stations of SCAMP may be used to run cases thru out the year, or on the same lot/year of ammo. Those dots identify which SCAMP station.
From the International Ammunition Association: "Starting with the “dot” to the right of the NATO symbol and going clockwise, the dots are assigned a value of 4, 8, 16, 1 and 2. There are 32 possible combinations of these dots that add up to any number below 32. Only 24 stations are used on the SCAMP machines, so not every possible combination of dots is used."
