bn1961 Posted April 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted April 25, 2018 Any idea of the age on this box of ammo? Is it WW1 or pre war? Lighting is not great but I hope the pictures are good enough. Rough idea on the value? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheeltim Posted April 25, 2018 Share #4 Posted April 25, 2018 I'm thinking the Apr 27 1903 date is the date it was loaded at Frankford Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bn1961 Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted April 25, 2018 haha, Thanks Tarheeltim. Now that I look closer at the picture I do see the Apr. My eyes are getting worse and I do not see that easily in my hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin6 Posted April 25, 2018 Share #6 Posted April 25, 2018 Are these .30-03s? Weren't the .30-06 developed a couple of years later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzjgr Posted April 25, 2018 Share #7 Posted April 25, 2018 I wonder if that is .30-03 ammo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommatt3 Posted April 26, 2018 Share #9 Posted April 26, 2018 I would think it was .30-40 Krag ( U.S. cal. .30 Govt ) as the M1903 rifles were not in issue as yet as of April 1903. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gomorgan Posted April 26, 2018 Share #10 Posted April 26, 2018 I'd agree, think it is 30-40 Krag rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Al Posted May 9, 2018 Share #11 Posted May 9, 2018 The velocity printed on the box points to Krag ammo as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorin6 Posted May 9, 2018 Share #12 Posted May 9, 2018 The nomenclature of the primer and the powder are consistent with the year and Krag ammunition production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
