Urgent M-2 30-06 warning

Post by steelbuttplate »

I had bought 4 cans of Greek M-2 192 round cans, these are '72. The bullets are not seated deep enough and will not load in a M-1 . Check your bandoliers. CAN you run these thru a press and seat them properly ? I'm not a reloader but I know one. I gotta go check all my Danish ammo now.

P.S. It was just the one bando in this can. The rest is long compared to Lake City, but will function. All the Danish M-2 is Goode as the LC and some beautiful ammo. Its white box 20 round.

I shot some of that stuff years ago with no problems, I still have three or four spam cans of it. SHot a bunch of the Greek .303 also with no issues, it's been a long time since I came across any of it.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
