Help dating old RF ammo

[butchlambert]

I have 3 bricks of this and know it isn't recent manufacture. How do I date it? Also have 3 bricks of yellow box Winchester-Western 22 LR Super X
and wondering about how to date it.
Oh, I also have a brick of red box Federal Hi-Power 22LR with a lot number 3A1324.
I've had them personally over 25years and bought them from an old friends estate.

Another pic Well, my other pics must be too big and I haven't figured out how to alter them. I can email them though.

The old Winchester 22LR super X use to be great stuff. Shot some really small group with that. The PMC match rifle in the black box and the Russian biathlon in white box were also great and the price was super on all three brands. I still have a brick of each.

I've never had any PMC, I do have 3 or 4 different types of the Russian ammo.

Dusty, I was told on another forum from an old Federal person that it was pre 68 as they added their zip code to the box after that. I don't know if it is true.

When i was a tot learning to shoot i remember those. We went thru a bunch of them. I have some 410 and 20ga slugs in the same box

Western made good 22lr ammo also. I have a stash of empty 22lr ammo boxes somewhere. I will try to look for them. I will post pictures if I find them.

Look for the copy rite dates on the packaging. The federal box is similar to what I first shot in the late 60's. Winchester used that box or one similar back to then also.
