    Default **FEELER** found old ammo from early 80's.. 300 savage 30-06etc..

    I came across some ammo from someone who had passed away, I believe it is from the early 80's, Im not familiar enough with this stuff to know if it is reloads or factory, most of it is in factory boxes, some rounds from each box are missing.. Is this stuff still okay to sell?? I can provide pictures if needed. Here is what it is:

    300 SAVAGE .....36 rounds

    30-06 ... 63 rounds some 150 gr and some 180 gr

    30-30... 13 rounds

    35 Remington (full box20) 200 grain

    You can try to sell it. Probably not worth much, and if any of the product is suspected to be reloads, it is next to worthless. If the ammo was kept cool and dry, it will probably fire.

    I came across a few boxes of 22lr and 12ga that were kept in a moldy storage unit when my grandfather passed away, then in my dad's garage until he passed away as well. I shot it in their memory some six months ago. Shot more reliably than the Winchester bulk I've been throwing downrange.

    To give you an idea of how old it was, the sticker price on the .22lr boxes was $0.10.

    Depending on how old the ammo is and the individual packaging, the real worth could be in the box itself. Like old lunchboxes, there are people that collect vintage factory ammo boxes. Couldn't do that myself because of the mold damage,but hey, maybe you're luckier than I.
