So I found a cartridge in the desert (pictured next to a .223). Im fairly sure its a .30-06, likely government/military manufacture because the headstamp says DEN and 43 (im assuming it means it was made in Denver in 1943). Am I right? I doubt myself because the bullet is a soft point and I can't find anything suggesting the government produced soft point ammo during WWII. Thoughts?

My guess is a reload.

Unsafe to fire, I can tell you that much.

Hadn't occurred to me. Thanks.

Yeah I had no intentions of firing it, thanks.

Boxer primed military 30-06 brass that has been reloaded. I have dozens of those exact cases that I reload.

In that shitty blow apart in your rifle condition?

>>33188802
No. Dirty, they look similar to the pic. I'd have no problem using that case, it doesn't look corroded, however I'd pull the bullet because I don't trust a random reload.

>>33188778
Thanks, I knew /k/ would know.

Den stands for denver ordnance plant active from 41 to 45, a division of remington. Based on the rifles we used in ww2, yes I would say it is a 30-06 and I bet it's even safe to shoot but I wouldn't try.

The point was if he knows all that all ready what the fuck is the question for, just to say hey I have this round that nobody gives a shit about. Look at me

>>33188653

It's not a reload. Fairly common thing to see with old ammo. Someone took a military ball round and added a dab of lead to the top to make it a "soft point".

I live in the Southeast and see this shit all the time at estate sales. Bit of a fudd thing.

Jesus christ, he was asking for a confirmation on whether his info was right or not. He was thrown off by the soft point bullet.

If your gonna be autistic fuck off back to /b/. I know /k/ has gone down hill a lot in the past ~4 years, but we always tried to act like men and give each other help when asked.

OP wasn't bragging about anything. He got his answer>>33188778 and said thanks for the help.>>33188851

And you just gotta shit it up with your tough guy bullshit. Grow up or fuck off
