LC = Lake City...they are a huge defence contractor. The numbers that are stamped on the brass is the year that the ammunition was manufactured.

Because if it's a NATO round...the brass will have the NATO cross on the bottom. NATO rounds are .223 and .308, and it's pretty easy to identify the caliber.
