100 year old .45 acp round

Pretty cool. I think you should hang on to it for at least another 9 months ... 100 year old 45ACP round is not something one sees everyday.

lol exactly what I wanted s thinking. Horseshoes and hand grenades

Agree with the hang onto it for another 8 months. Ther perfect round to ring in the new year.............unless you find out it's worth $1000's of course lol.

If you find its really valuable let me know! I've got some boxes of that stuff around here somewhere in half moon clips.

I'd keep it. I have two that are steel cased with the rounded primers and 43 on the head stamp.

This thread got me thinking about some .45 acp rounds I got at our range. We have containers where folks can leave duds, etc to be collected and properly disposed of.
I go around occasionally, gather them up and break them down to their components.
These .45's will not break down with a RCBS collet type puller. I guess the varnish or shellack they sealed them with has glued them into the brass.
They are all duds too. The primers have all been struck very well.
The head stamp says 1930 on all of them.

Interesting video. His shot but were flying everywhere. I've got over a hundred that are newer than his by a few years that were all duds.
