Funny you mention WWII ammo...
we had a big batch of .50 ammo over in the desert made at Des Moines (at what is now John Deere Ankeny Works) in 1945, which we thought must have come out of a warehouse in Germany. Guns ran just fine on it; properly set up, Ma Deuce will keep running with amounts of sand/dust that would hopelessly choke lesser weapons.
