At Oceania trap and skeet on the Navy Air station government furnishes shells to units for recreation. Mostly AA in Commercial boxes but I have bought AA empties marked US Property . All # 9

Some unknown reason they stoped selling empties. Fortunaly I laid in a good supply while they were available .

During the last presidential administration it became 'illegal' for the military to distribute reusable ammunition cases - they were to be shredded and recycled.

Thanks again to all!!! So...any educated guesses on when these shells might have been purchased/used?
