I new a Korean war vet had a bunch of that M2 ammo during the war. He said the filled off the tips of the steel jacket to expose the lead core of the bullet. He called them "dum-dums".

But that was a war and it was hairy scarey for sure. I wouldn't blame him a bit.

I woulda used voodoo magic and chicken blood if I though it would help keep me alive.

I can across some of his ammo and decided it was best to leave it where it was and suggested the owner just bury it and forget it. Wasn't worth keeping.
