1942 De Moins Surplus 30.06

Post by tailgunner67 »

I won this can of 30.06 M2 Alternative Ball a couple of months ago. Well, I could stand it no longer and opened it. 1942 brass cased De Moines 30.06 in cardboard cartons. It was vacuum packed and it all looks like new. Pretty cool.

Nice stuff!
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Yes, I bought this for my collection. I may sell a couple to a friend. I don't plan on shooting any of it.
