Hi all, I have a few hundred rounds of this ammo, various headstamps such as SL, LC, DEN, DM etc. Just enquiring whether it is ok to use in a high number Rock Island 1903? It looks to all original ammo with the crimped cannalure. Is there any significance in relation to a red annulus on some of these rounds? I thought these may have been tracer or something like that. I guess the range officers may not be happy if these are tracers etc.

Also, I have some Gevelot Model 49 brass cased ammo with the black sealant on the case mouth. I have used some of this in a Columbian Mauser in .30-06 some time ago and remembered it kicked like a mule. I'm thinking that this may be a bit too much for the RI. What are your opinions please Gentlemen?
Many thanks for your help
Kind regards BCD
