Found a GI Ammo can in a closet at my Dad's place. Inside were about 350 .30-06 cartridges put up in 20 round boxes.

Boxes say: "Caliber .30 Match M72 Lot FA 80 Bullet 173 Grains Frankford Arsenal".

 

Headstamp is: "FA 59 Match". Bullets appear to be FMJ

 

Was happy to find this as there are 4 tight shooting 06's here that may need to be fed (no Garands, unfortunately).

 

But....does it have corrosive primers?

Thanks.

Its US made stuff, boxer primed, not corrosive. I do not believe anything US made since boxer primers is corrosive. Mainly its the european berdan primered stuff that is the problem. Anyone else support that?
