X. 6 and 15 pounder, 2.95-inch Mountain, and 3-inch Field Gun Subcaliber Ammunition.—The service rifle caliber .30 ammunition must not be used in the drill cartridges for the above guns, its primer not being adapted for the blow of the firing pins of these pieces. A special caliber .30 cartridge has been adopted for this purpose, and requisition will be made for “artillery drill cartridges, caliber .30,” for use with these guns. XI. Care of Empty Metallic Cases and Primers.-After the expenditure of ammunition in target practice with guns using metallic cartridge cases, the empty cases will be taken up on the property return of post as * empty metallic cartridge cases," under the heading provided for that purpose. Immediately after firing the cases will be decapped, well cleaned by washing inside and out, and dried. Upon the accumulation of convenient lots of such cases they will be packed in the boxes in which received and shipped by posts in the Atlantic, Northern, and Southwestern Divisions to Frankford Arsenal; in the Pacific Division to Benicia Arsenal; and in the Division of the Philippines to Manila Ordnance Depot. All obturating electric and friction primer cases will be cleaned immediately after firing and turned in to the post ordnance officer for shipment to Frankford Arsenal, as provided for .30-caliber shell. XII. Drill Primers.—A drill primer, made for use with any caliber of the modern seacoast guns, Ordnance Department pattern, for drill purposes, subcaliber practice, and saluting, has been devised and will be issued by the Ordnance Department. They are issued as part of the “drill-primer outfit," one of the outfits being supplied to each company drilling at guns, by the post ordnance officer, during drill periods. $1,000 $100 $100 $30 120 $20 300 300 $15 80 80 $20 $100 $100 $30 90 $2,000 600 $100 600 600 200 200 68 $17 450 $75 150 150 160 160 228 228 +12 150 $25 450 450 40 40 3,000 3,000 3,000 3,000 2,000 2,000 12,000 12,000 12,000 8,000 8,000 480 $80 480 480 $60 XIV.-Table of Annual Allowances for Mountain, Field, and Siege Artillery, and Machine Guns. artillery, and for machine guns.
