I've got some WW II and Korea Era US Military Head Stamp and Date Code 30.06 Ammo that might be fun to collect to match the born date or era on your M1 Garand or M 1903A3 Rifles. Ild like to get $1. A round. Open to trading but I'm trying to raise a little cash for something I want. Head stamp and year data sourced from cartridge collectors.org .

1950 TW (97 rounds) Twin Cities Ordnance Plant, Minneapolis, Mn

Just an FYI, if these are the ones in the photo with the headstamp "TW5", they are actually 1955. They would simply grind off the 4 of the TW54 bunter and reuse it in 1955.

According to the chart, it should all be non-corrosive except for the DEN rounds. Good ammo.

Thanks for sharing
However all my other 1955 ammo says 55. maybe it's a TW thing.
I held those back intentionally for my rifle .
Appreciate you taking the time to help clarify things. I'll edit my listing to reflect your concerns.

I tried to edit the listing to share your observations, but can only edit the title ( which I did).
Happy Trails

No big deal, I just thought you'd like to know. It's definitely 1955, and '55 is actually worth a little more because it's non-corrosive, as compared to 1950. They were all switching to non-corrosive primers in the early 1950s. GLWS!
