[JWGILLAM]

didn't know where best to post this so please don't brutalize me if this isn't the best place to post it. got almost a ammo can full of this old armor piercing m2 ammo from denver ordnance plant, stamped den 43.gramps said i could use the brass to resize for my 25-06. this stuff is stiff brass not good for resizing, have been told and experienced. this is loaded ammunition was told worth up to $1.50 a round(by ammo collector website host)?? can anyone consult what to do with it. though about selling it in the wts section but is it even legal to sell openly being armor piercing?? thoughts-opinions-inputs???

from my vast experience and in-depth knowledge coupled with hands on first person on-the-scene personal trigger yanking....this stuff tends to be the more consistent and accurate '06 there is

get your Garand and knock over a brinks truck......

Collectors' item. Period.

Old brass hardens with age, brass that old is probably very difficult to realod without annealing.

The tips themselves are worth about a buck each, the loaded rounds in original packages are worth 2-3 bucks a pop. It's not legal in CA, as well as NJ and MA most likely. IL I'd doubt you can sell it too...

If it's in 30-06 it's OK to have, but if it's loaded in 308 it counts as AP pistol ammo which is a no-no.

It's consistent and good ammo in a Garand as Boltripper said. If you don't want to shoot it and you want to sell it, then take it to a gunshow and offload it. Some moron will pay you a bunch for it, or put it on GunBroker.

It's not as good as an SMK, but back in 1960 it was the best LR garand ammo on the flooded market.

I snatch up as much of the ol' black tip M2 as I can for my Garand.... She loves it! As to the legalities of it being AP, it's on the GTG list for non-commie States at least...
