Turkish 8mm which I believe was from the 1930s.
I have a couple of boxes of that. AP to boot.Just noticed I have some .30-06 AP headstamped DEN 43 in a bandolier.

I'll probably just hold on to it.
Check the headstamp. My guess would be 1930s (since I have a box just like that).I don't know how old this is but I shot some a couple weeks ago. No problem at all. Anybody have a guess to age. I would guess 50's.

Located in Evansville, IN this plant was operated by the Chrysler Corp. from 1942 to 1944 and produced billions of rounds of caliber 45 and caliber 30 carbine ammunition. Most cases were made of steel using the EC headstamp. This plant also loaded ammunition using cases made at the Sunbeam Refrigerator Plant, also at Evansville, IN, with ECS headstamp.
Cool. Best hang onto the rest of it.There is some letters and the number 43. So I guess 1943? That would be quite coincidental since one of my Dads 1911's was made in 1943. I wonder if this was the original ammo the army gave him with his side arm?

Shoot the gun, save the ammo. You can probably trade it to an ammo collector for a decent amount of blasting ammo.
