I just got a bunch of 308 cases with a PMJ headstamp on them and am not familiar with that headstamp. I looked around the web a bit as was not able to come up with much information. They do have the NATO cross on them. I would appreciate any information any of you have about these cases.
 
from 1919a4.com

Poongsan metals from south korea.
In 2005 uncle sam contracted with outside suppliers to help relieve the ammo shortage and they were one of the contractors who got the contract. It is far superior to lake city of the same vintage. This stuff is what is in iraq right now with our troops and they are pulling the 50 stuff from links and using it in their barretts because it is giving superior accuracy to their loose issue stuff. They contracted for all 3 small nato calibers and they are all great loadings. The brass is clean and bright on the factory stuff, not oily and cruddy like the current lake city. I havent tried to reload any of the brass, but it looks equal to or superior in that regard as well. I think 2005 is the only vintage you will see as lake city is on the upswing now and uncle is not buying any more.
 
Thanks for the information. Most of the cases I have inspected so far are -06 headstamps. I will keep an eye open to see what years I find.
