Thanks TrooperDan,
My uncle was CO of the Post Rifle Team at Fort Sill in the early 50s, when he retired he had a bunch of left overs, which he gave me.
My M1917 is hardly a match rifle, but it is now being re-barreled and perhaps we will do better when I get it back.
The brass from previous lots has been good---worth more than ten cents to me.
I will preserve the other stuff, I have a big bag of clips somewhere.
