I was given some ammunition by a lady that I work for and need some help figuring out exactly what I got and if any of it is worth anything. :laugh: Basically her father must have had a gun collection or something and he passed away about 5 yrs ago. I think her brothers have his guns but she came across more of his ammunition and gave it to me because she didn't want to mess around with mailing it to her brothers. I think I need to see if her brothers want to get rid of any of them. :D
Some of it I will keep for future "toys" like the box of .45 and the box of .45 Remington shotshell. I wants me a .45! :D Also got some .22 LR rounds as well that I know I'll keep. I may also hold on to the 500 shotshell primers that were in there.
Some of the other stuff, I need to find out more about to see if, A) I should hold on to it, since it may work for something I wouldn't mind getting later or B) is it "rare" and worth anything :laugh: and that's where you guys come in. I went through and inventoried everything and some of them seem to be not your everyday caliber. I've been googleing the different calibers for awhile and some of them I'm having a hard time finding much info on. Need to know what to hold on to for future toys and if anything is just too off the wall and better off selling it to fund future toys. :laugh:
The first two are ones that look like old boxes.
Remington 30-40 Krag 220grain in an old looking box (7 rounds and 9 spent casings)
Western Super X Silvertip 300 H&H Magnum 180grain Expanding Bullet (this is the one that I'm having the hardest time finding, I have found similar with the same looking boxes but not the exact grain/caliber) I have two complete boxes of this (40rounds) and a few loose rounds. The box is like this but without the grizzly. http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=130222210
The other two don't appear to be old boxes but I would just like to know more about them.
1 box (20rounds) of Remington 45-70 Govt. 405grain Soft Point (from what I read, this and the weapon that went with it, replaced the 30-40 Krag in the US military) Is it worth holding onto, seems like a big slow round?
Winchester 32-20 100grain Lead Says Rifle or Handgun Cartridge (not quite a complete box ~35 rounds) Looks like this: http://www.winchester.com/products/catalog/cfrdetail.aspx?symbol=X32201
Any help would be appreciated. :thumbup:
