Guessing garand ammo with the 43 headstamp date. Oddly, they have painted blue tips

Inert training ammo.  Dummy rounds.

Bigger rounds on stripper clips appear to be 30-06.. Guessing garand ammo with the 43 headstamp date. Oddly, they have painted blue tips. 

I found this

FM 23-5 for U.S. Rifle Caliber .30, M1 the blue tip ammo is designated Incendiary, M1. "This cartridge is used against unarmored, flammable targets. The tip of the bullet is painted blue

 

 

Kinda gives the term "hot load" a new meaning!

6000+ projectiles.. About half jacketed, half hard lead...

Mostly 10mm/40cal, .44, some .45 colt, 2 boxes .30 carbine, etc...   

Various other stuff too... big handfull of greentip .556.    Bigger rounds on stripper clips appear to be 30-06.. Guessing garand ammo with the 43 headstamp date. Oddly, they have painted blue tips. 

also couple bags of many calibers of brass, some relaoding trays, bunch of die lock rings..

Again?!?!...  geez.  Where you finding these deals?  And have you loaded any rounds yet??

That was my initial finding from one post i found online. .Upon more research, from much more reliable forums and posters, these are incediary rounds...        Not illegal to posess, but illegal to fire off... lol

Ding. Ding. Ding.    Thats what my quick research revealed too...  If only i had the appropriate gun for the ammo! and of course, lived in another state since its illegal to shoot them here in PRNJ...

Yup... I dunno.. shit just keeps falling in my lap.. Honestly, ive taken to this kinda like antique hunting and collecting. I used to collect/part/sell antique garden tractors back in the day, and had quite the knack for finding rare and valuable things..  

I have two other less signifacant deals ive picked up before these projectiles.. So look for some more posts when i get the time with those goodies.. 

And NOPE! Havnt even reloaded a damn round yet...  15+ lbs of powder, 10,000 projectiles, piles and piles of brass, and probably 8-10k various primers all on hand and just no need to reload anything yet! i have plenty of factory ammo still on hand and havnt been to the range since covid shutdowns.. Seriously thinking of selling off some of the factory cases of ammo and start reloading what i want with all this shiit i have on hand..

If you have  the means to reload, sell the factory stuff.....to me for a heavy post COVID discount 

Jesus Eyeinstine!  I gotta find this neighborhood where everyone has their stash for sale. 
 

Dont hate, but i dog gon dun it again.. i think...

Who woulda thought to find this at a flea market in NJ at the end of the day??   I wont say what a paid...        Gonna start another thread to get some more info on it.. Quick little search seems company was bought by pacific, then hornady..

Even the lube bottle is still full...

The winchester poster i couldnt pass up from another table. The old gent selling it for 3 bucks said hes had it a long time. Said he had it hanging in his college dorm in '72...
