Hey, I still have quite a few of those exact same Lake City boxes, except my rounds have black tips. 1960's vintage.

Great find!

As long as they weren't exposed to prolonged heat, they should function just fine.

Awesome

Just FYIs: M2 ball is a 150 grain bullet loaded to 2700 fps. The first lot of M2 Ball that Lake City loaded with non-corrosive primers was lot #13700, so it looks pretty good.

Let us know the headstamp date. Should say LC and a two number, year code. I'm curious.

Also, it's probably worth about a dollar a round. You should go buy a garand to shoot it with. They can be found $600-900
