I just got a load of brass and don't usually process rifle brass.
The first headstamp: Case Length 54mm but doesn't look like 7.62x54R
at 12 O'Clock 5
at 3 O'Clock A
at 6 O'Clock 79
at 9 O' Clock D
Second Headstamp:Case Length 54 mm but doesn't look like 7.62x54R. I think it is Israeli
at 12 O'Clock 6
at 3 O'Clock A
at 6 O'Clock 79
at 9 O' Clock T
Third Headstamp: Case Length maybe 51 mm, Berdan primers
Second Headstamp:
at 12 O'Clock 59
at 3 O'Clock D
at 6 O'Clock 1
at 9 O' Clock TE
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like .308/7.62x51 maybe stretched from firing?

If you have allot to do and are worried about berdan.
I processed about 4000 a couple years ago. I separated them into same headstamp lots. Then i cut the case in 1/2 about a 1/2" above the base using a skilsaw(circular saw). It had a carbide blade but brass is pretty soft. I just clamped the bottom of the brass in a vice and 1/4 second the saw ripped right through it.Now you can see the primer.
I threw the berdan primed brass away and in the Dillon deswager the rest went.

Need to measure the base. Could be 7.5x55 Swiss or 7.5x54 French.

Shoulder looks too steep to be 7.5 swiss and maybe too sharp to be the french. Hard to tell from the pics.
