On behalf of Chief of Ordnance William Crozier, Acting Chief of Ordnance Thompson sends Senator Warren, Chairman of the Committee on Military Affairs, five 0.30 caliber ball cartridges from the 1903 model. Thompson believes Warren would like ammunition from this model manufactured in December 1905 or January 1906. He describes developments in composition of the bullet core of the 1903 model since its original manufacture, and has requested samples of ammunition made closer to the requested time period. Upon receipt, he will forward those bullet models to Warren immediately.
