WWII ammo

A Caveat... My recommendation to "Go Ahead and shoot a couple" above should also have said "at your own risk" IT is your gun and your ammo and while it may be perfectly fine, it could also result in a damaged gun. After all, the ammo is 60 years old, and you have no idea how the ammo was stored...

Frankly, my own curiosity about the ammo would not be so piqued... The last time I actually fired one of those rounds was 40 years ago... Now that they are worth a $1.00 a round, I wish they were still in my odds and ends box.

I stand by my recommendation to go with modern and appropriate ammo (WInchester).

My thanks to the forum member who chose to contact me via Private Message and remind me that I had not included that warning...
