Here's a good website for .308 headstamp ID.

http://cartridgecollectors.org/heads...des_bottom.htm

Unfortunately, no 'HF' is listed. Might it be 'HP'? I have some reboxed (100 rounds/box, mixed dates) 7.62X51/.308 stamped 'HP' from El Salvador. This is listed as actually Hirtenberger production - good stuff too. Shoots great and is very accurate!
