Blank brass
Re: Blank brass
The references to not using blanks for reloading are particular to USGI 30/06 ammo, not sure if 30/40 was included. Not all was reject, some were made from fired brass returned to the arsenal, but there is no way to determine which is which. Modern blanks (commercial and military) are made from new brass, although whether it goes through annealing like brass to be used for loaded ammo is open to question. Someone on Armslist was selling the 30/40 blanks several years ago, was newly made and unfired.
