Hi all,
I picked this packet of .45 Shot M15 last weekend. I thought that it is quite interesting.
In July, 1943 the colour of the lacquered wad used to close the case mouth was changed from yellow to vermillion.
They came with an instruction sheet, for manual loading in the M1911/A1.
They were not considered a success, too much dispersion.
Cheers,
BOUGAINVILLE

Containing 7 1/2 shot, they were issued in the USAAF B-2 and B-4 emergency kits and were also a component of the USAAF C-1 Survival Vest, beginning in 1943.
M-15 shot shells that were produced after October, 1943, at the Remington Arms Bridgeport factory had the warning label changed to what we see here, from what had been a warning printed in English, German, and Japanese: "not for use against enemy troops."
