After reading this thread, I think I will pull down the 384 round can KA in the locker. My first thought was to shoot it in my 1921 M1903, but not anymore!

When shooting corrosive ammo in my bolt guns, I use Windex with ammonia. While still at the range I run a few windex patches down the bore and follow up with more when I get home. Then it's just a...

I am not sure why everyone makes a big deal about corrosive primers. Just clean the rifle properly when you're done shooting.

If that 30 Carbine ammo is head stamped LC52, be careful because there is chicom counterfeit ammo made with corrosive berdan primers. The ammo came in a box like the one you...
Thanks yall. That safe is located in our front room. The lanterns are retired for the time being. Those boxes are unfortunately empty except the Remington short box. It has about 10 or 12 copper...

Wow...that looks like real ammo boxes.

I agree. Winchester is probably using the "41" nomenclature due to familiarity with CCI 41 primers. Unless CCI is actually real deal NATO primers.

That is because at the beginning of the cartridge era, they used heel type bullet (think of a 22LR round) that was actually 38 or 44 or 45 caliber. When they went to seating the bullet inside the...

My first reaction to the price tags on old ammo boxes is "wow! That's cheap!" But then I remember it was probably expensive for it's time. I can hear the comment at the hardware store now...

I have always liked Starline, Winchester and Federal. Remington and some of the other brands seemed to have thin rims that warped easily. Most military brass is good too.

Here is a partial box of copper cased 22 shorts. Is this from the 1920s? Give or take a few years.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20220404/e0966349251386f08b9311e4171facc1.jpg
