mother-in-law: i've got some old bullets if you're interested
me: bullets? I like bullets so I get this bag of corrosion, dig through and find about 50 old 5.56 shells head stamped TW 67 (obviously from '67), a bunch of .357/.44 mag shells, 3 .357 rounds which are primer pocket crimped head stamp WCC 74 / WCC 68 4 .30-30 corroded beyond use (one Winchester Super Speed, one R-P, one REM-UMC, one corroded to hell 31 rifle rounds head stamped SMI 939 with clips 1 rifle round soft point head stamped K51 7 
any of this have any value? not sure if i'd shoot any of it but I'm not really sure what to do with it. Could this 5.56 be suitable for reloading? Except for age, I'm wondering if when if was manufactured there could have been looser specs or weaker brass. Thanks in advance |

The "SMI 939" rounds are 7.35mm Italian Carcano made in 1939.
The "K51 7" is probably a British .303 with the Mk 7 FMJ replaced with a soft point. The headstamp indicates Kynoch mfg. in 1951 with a Mk 7 174 gr, FMJ ball projectile. I'm pretty sure your .357 with WCC head stamps are .38 Spl. I'm not aware of the U.S. military having ever procured .357 with military style head stamps... 1DD |
