I guess you can call this "rare." Below are some of my fluted dummy rounds (30 06). However, I'm not 100% positive whether they are the M1906 or M40 dummy rounds due to some conflicting information.

Particularly interesting to note is the brass cased dummy round. The majority of the ones I've seen are steel cased.



Another neat fact about WW2 dummy rounds, and to an extent, some live ammo, was headstamp notation. My understanding, for all dummy rounds, is that they are marked by the manufacturer and the last digit of the year. For example, dummy rounds made by Frankford Arsenal in 1944 would be "FA 4." My guess was this was to save on production time and thus cost.



... also somewhere in my inventory are some M199 dummy rounds, still in the box.
