    Hey guys, I acquired this ammo can filled to the top with what appears to be Lake City 30-06 blanks...

    Just looking for some info on use, and potential value. I haven't done a count but I'm guessing in the 400 range.

    Thanks!

    If they chamber the "can cannon in 06, you'll make a killing! Maybe a few WWII reenactors kicking around? The cartridges look to be in good shape.

    I don't reload and don't own anything chambered in 06, any idea what I could realistically get out of this?

    Range, Al. Near Brewton.
    Worth more with the boxes. As is prob $1-2 each. Some DAV guys have had kabooms using these WITH the blank adapters. Not 100% but I think these use pistol powder. Not for training gernades either.

    What I would do- stick 8 in an end bloc clip and put em on gunbroker. See what happens.
