Reminiscing and old ammo

[gat]

Rainy day blahs,so I decided to sort old ammo and see how many boxes still had factory fodder! When we ran our gun shop people were always trading old ammo to us in order to "sweeten " the deal. Never put it out for sale just sorta collected it. Had a lot of folks just drop ammo off fearing it was unsafe to fire as old as it was! We gladly disposed of this ammo post haste, right down the barrel of the nearest firearm in that particular caliber! Check out the pics and see how many old boxes you remember and how many memories are associated with them! Have fun Gat!

Anyone remember these?? Back in the 80's in Tennessee you couldn't get a deer to walk within a mile of you if you didn't have this ammo carrier on your hunting belt!

I have a few of those in my old ammo drawer also. Never used them much though.

Here are a few of my old factory loaded ammo mostly in 250 savage, but there is some in 270, 220 Swift,284 and other assorted stuff. I need to shoot another deer or two before I get too old with some of that factory loaded 250 savage silver tips. I have shot a few with them years ago.

Peters 16 ga purple High Brass, fired thru the Montomery Ward "stick of Satan" double...yep, memories, all bad!

Back in the day, some of the best 22LR, I shot was the Peter's target. I think it was a green box.

I grew up on a steady diet of Remington 22 Golden Bullet Hi Vel and Remington Centerfire Ammo.

Looks like You have some of those antique Federal Gold Metal Match primers also Don. Are those just to reminisce over also.

Those are the last of my 210 M that I have. I’ve got about 800 left for hunting loads. Should last the rest of my life. I shoot nothing but 205M now in my match ammunition and have 10,000+ of them, should be good the rest of my shooting career for hunting and competition. Thank goodness for insight!

Love the box of Remington 30-06 core lokt with the old Kmart price tag still attached. A friend of mine recently gave me an old box of Winchester super X .410 shells that still has a Kmart price tag on it. Stuff like that is priceless and brings back so many good memories.

With all this NEW fangeled chit, I am amazed that any of those OLD archaic ammo offerings ever even went BANG

$1.50 for a box of .357 Magnum...nice!

So many shooters are misinformed and think ammo that's over a few years old isn't fresh enough to fire safely. Used to run 30 carbine ammo with WWII manufacture dates with no problem. That was in the 90's!

I've collected old ammo for a while . This some stuff that was at the house
A full box of winchester .22 only fits one gun. couple old rimfires the short one is a 56-50 spencer and a box of .22 long

I guess it is my age. All of that looks very familiar to me. Some of it brings memories of my father closer to my heart.

When I was a kid in Canada, just happened to keep them.

Not rifle ammo, but worth sharing
