30-06 headstamp help

[FamDoc2892]

Just bought some mixed brass, had the usual commercial from Rem, Win and Fed, but also some HXP and IMI cases. Can anyone tell me if these are military cases (thicker brass, less volume, slightly lower load, etc.)?

Thanks in advance!

I have loaded some of the IMI cases before with standard 30-06 data. If you are loading for the Garrand you will need to specifically load for that unless you like bent operating rods. I have had an issue with the military 30-06 stuff though. The primer pockets tend to be enlarged and primers seat too loosely, even before the first loading. I don't know if anyone else has had that issue with it though. But you should be fine with standard data.
