Midway USA has orginal WWII on sale....$199 for 600 rounds, seems like a great price even if you just want to shoot it.

It appears to come in a metal ammo can containing 600rds and is labeled as such. Also you can choose from 3 different manufacturers

Wonder where the hell they found that? Very cool. That would be some very good brass. (it is brass, right?)

Nope. It says it's steel cased.

Case Type: Mildly-corrosively primed steel case


No thanks, there's plenty of modern ammo that's brass cased and non-corrosive to be had for less money.

I bought 10 cases of this stuff 8-10 years ago and still shooting it on occasion for paper punching and moving sillouette targets. It was a lot cheaper then. I think I only paid $25 a case then.
Nothing wrong with it at all.
I wouldn't worry about the "mildly corrosive" part. Mine says the same and no problems at all with it. I haven't noticed anything wrong with it at all. Accurate, consistent, and not real dirty. Less dirt than WWB IMO
I only clean my .45s when they're dirty or get moisture on them. It's been good ammo for as long as I've had it.
At today's prices it's not a bad deal I guess.

I thought great deal and then thought maybe corrosive primmers. The Evansvile is 199$ the winchester is listed at 299$ why is that.
