Apparently, the picture I originally looked at as a description of the ammunition I was purchasing said Lot 42 on the box and a couple of you on here said Yucky or something similar.

Apparently, the picture I originally looked at as a description of the ammunition I was purchasing said Lot 42 on the box and a couple of you on here said Yucky or something similar.
Anywho, The first thing I noticed is that the boxes I have are dated, 27 July 1941 Lot 316. The next item I attended to was to pull a bullet and check the powder situation. The powder looks brand new and scaled out at exactly 45.0grns. The cases are at 2.220" and the rim thickness is .0610" as well. The OAL is 3.025" on every round. The only data I can find that uses 45.0grns is from an old Winchester reloading book and that is W760 on top of a 180grn SP. I am still going to pull all of the bullets, deprime the cases, do all the case prep, clean the cases, reprise the cases with Federal 210M primers, load each case with 39.0grns of Norma 202 powder and reseat each bullet to an original OAL of 3.025"...![]()
