Friend of mine was cleaning house and ran across this in his basement, offered him $300 and I took it home.
From what I've learned it's post Korean war, US made, non-corrosive ammo, let those damn zombies come forward.:rocket

The older I get, the better I was. I also forget my password and have to have Len reset it for me
So I assume it is .30-'06 ammo then?
Whatever it is, at today's prices you got a good deal if it goes "boom."
You gonna open it?
(whatever you do, don't store food in it)

It may be .30 carbine ammo also.
"Never try to fight an Old Dude. If you win, there's no glory; if you lose, your reputation is shot."
Most likely .30-06 ... if I remember correctly, the other would say, "cal. .30 carbine" on the can. Back in the day ... we called those "Spam Cans".
ie; "Bring me a spam can of .30 cal!"
If it's "post Korean War" wouldn't it be .30 caliber ammo for the M-14? That would be .308 rounds. Am I way off base? Were we still using 30-06 rounds post-Korea?
It would be labeled 7.62 then.Originally Posted by yellowk9
M2 ball is '06.
A man gets one great horse and one great dog in his life, a damn lucky man might get two.
Ah ha. I hear the quote from "Full Metal Jacket" in my head now. "7.62 millimeter, full metal jacket".
