Help in ammunition identification

Thin steel jackets do not necessarily mean armor piercing... I don't think those bullets are any more rugged than the standard brass/copper alloy used for bullets... The steel jackets were made exactly for the reasons noted... Brass was getting harder and harder to come by in 1943...

IMHO considering their age, you would really have to have caught the eye of law enforcers by doing shady things in order for them to make a big deal out of this ammo...

If there are regs to the contrary Herb, I would really like to know their source...

Question...in my limited logic...If you don't have to have a C&R license to own a C&R gun, why would you need one to own ancient ammunition?
