This is some cool ammo I found at a small gun shop in west Alabama. This box had been opened and retaped, but all original cartridges were contained. It is headstamped "EW" over "42." This ammo was early production M2 ball from a plant in Wisconsin in 1942. I bought one other box that was unopened with the same lot number. Although corrosive primed, it is good wartime ammo. However, I consider this is just for collecting; not for shooting in the M1.

Eau Claire is a 3 hour drive for me. Nice town, I went to school at the State University there. I almost stayed in that town after school.
