My brother-in-law came by again on Sunday and gave me a box of various ammo.  In it was a full box of 38 S&W, several boxes of 22 long and short, various 16 and 410 ga shells, and a few other odds and ends.  What interested me however, was the 174 rounds of .30 Carbine ammo.

94 of them are ball rounds (47 WRA-45, 33 PC-43, 8 RA-52, 3 LC-43, and 3 WCC-42).  The condition is mostly dark or tarnished... however a few have severe corrosion in which case I would never shoot them.  I'm going to try and clean up some of them to see how they look.

The remaining are reloads.  most with soft-point jacketed bullets but some with lead nosed bullets (jacketed section is pressed into the case and a smaller lead portion is exposed).   The majority of them are in military brass (mostly LC-51 and RA-52).  Now here is the really interesting thing about these reloads: About a third of them still have the crimped and sealed military primers in the case, which means that someone pulled the bullets and replaced them with different bullets (mostly the SPs, but 4 of them have the lead nose bullets). 

Oh yeah... and one of those reloads had the primer installed backwards (anvil facing the rear)!

Ok, now here comes the question:  What should I do with all of these carbine rounds?  I'm not sure I'd shoot the reloads because I just don't trust other peoples reloading practices (especially after finding one with the primer installed backwards).  I'd consider keeping the military ball rounds, but doubt I'd shoot them either (I don't have a M1 Carbine anyway). 

Suggestions?

I also have four original strippers too.
