    Default Hey ammo collectors! What's this worth?

    Last summer, I was on the hunt for reloading stuff for my M1 Garand. I have been saving brass for literally years of shooting, some competitively, some not.

    Regardless, I answered an ad in the local newspaper for M2 ball '06 ammo, but by the time I called, the guy had sold it all. He then told me he had 1000 "tips" if I wanted them. I didnt have ALL of my reloading stuff at the time, but I knew I would need bullets eventually, so I agreed to buy them at a VERY reasonable price.

    Lo and behold I went to pick them up, and 800 rounds of this stuff is still in its original packaging - marked W.R.A. (winchester repeating arms) Lot No.2!!!!

    Check out the pics... I am not sure I want to reload it or donate it to a museum!

    I have my rifle. Do you?
