I recently came across a can of old M1 30 Cal ball ammo and I noticed something kind of strange. While I was inspecting it to see if it was still ok to shoot, I noticed that the rounds are randomly mixed steel core and soft tip. Is it normal for Milsurp ammo to be issued that way? I have a few pictures of the can and the ammo which might help I know most of this is probably corrosive primers so I only plan on using this in a bolt gun but it just struck me strange to see steel and soft mixed like that out of the box.
