Thanks again fellas. I learn so much from this site. I have plenty of 9mm brass, so I will discard these when I come across them.
Yep, I once bought a Winchester box of 100 with WMA headstamps at wally world."Per Paul Szabo at Winchester: "“WMA” stands for Winchester Military Ammunition
We use “WMA” shellcases sometimes in commercial loads so the headstamp is not a clear indicator of military ammunition."
The other marks are the "site" made

I think it's Winchester but it definitely had crimped primers in the original loading, and the crimp needs to be removed before repriming. Not worth the effort for 9mm brass. Pretty much anything with the NATO cross is going to have crimped primers regardless of brand
I think this came from a box of 100, loose in the box with no cartridge box inside.Yep, I once bought a Winchester box of 100 with WMA headstamps at wally world.

I have only found 9mm, 45 ACP, 5.56, 7.62x51, 7.62x54r and 30-06 or at least these are the only ones I reload. Dunno any other for civilian use, maybe 50 BAR?I believe all NATO rounds, regardless of caliber, have crimped primers. That has been my experience with anything that has the NATO symbol (circle with cross).
