It's a relic habit from long ago. When you opened a crate, you were presented with a sample of what the sealed packages contained.

Enough people in the Civil war and WWI couldn't read. So they were benefitted by having a sample round.

Old M2s did not have a safety and a round would be used to block the trigger from being depressed. New M2s have a built in safety and do not need a loose round.

So the guy that can't read "caliber 30, ball" on the crate could pickup the sample round and know it's 30.06?

Clever

People who were never taught to read may be quite intelligent. I know astrophysicists who don't know sign language. What if sign language was standard? Does that mean those PhDs are suddenly dumb?
