[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1945511, member: 9299"] Since 1974, Federal Cartridge Company has used four 10-year lot number schemes to identify the date of manufacture. Beginning in 2014 they started using the newest one. The last four characters in Federal lot numbers indicate the year and Julian day of manufacture: 1974-1983, the last digit of the year followed by the Julian day. 1984-1993, the last digit of the year followed by the Julian day plus 400. 1994-2003, the letters H, Y, R, V, W, Z, X, T, N, J (in that order) to indicate the year followed by the Julian day. 2004-2013, those same letters followed by the Julian day plus 400. 2014, the letter M followed by the Julian day.
