<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 1010079, member: 26302&quot;]Good post about &quot;shell case&quot; cents. My grandfather was a private on a range where they trained recruits and was responsible for getting the spent shells gathered up. The big ones were easy, but the little ones would get lost easily but he was responsible for getting 90% of the shells back. In late 42 he told me that it was upped to 100% of the shells, and he resorted to having trainees dig around the shooting positions to get him shells to return. No one left the range until he got his 100% empty shell quota, and sometimes that took a couple of hours. Also, I was told in 1943 they started to tear down berms and run the dirt though sifters to retrieve spent bullets, starting on the artillery range but later on with the small fire ranges as well. Not sure about how much correlation there is from this story and the idea of a copper shortage, but thought I would relay it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
