As for the A USA (Armscor) I have been loading the same 200 pcs with mid to full loads with 180 and 200 gr jacketed bullets and they are getting hard to read the head stamp as well, YMMV but they have been good for me. All that said I use Starline brass for full-house and self-defense loads.
When I get some time, I'm going to sort them by headstamp. This is a bummer since we bought 2,000 pcs and most is A USA and PPU.
Live and learn...I'm hoping to get a few hundred of good brass.
