Everyone likes a "look at the price on old ammo box" thread!

Sorting an estate of reloading/ammo I recently got. A lot of unopened boxes of ammo. I'm going to shoot the shit out of this $ 0.39 a round 308.

That stuff is expired, it's no good no more

I have a box of that XM118 ammo that a college professor gave me two of. I shot one of them to test how they shot in FALs. Not great, so I'll keep the remaining box as a momento.

Very true, I'll give you a nice fresh box of Wolf 308 to replace it and will dispose of it properly for you.

I have shot a metric shit ton of the x39 and 223 Norinco sivler box , yellow box , green box all went bang and shot well ...... I dont remember paying that much though.
IIRC I think Roaches north of boston and the S,NH gun shows where selling it for $99/1000 or was it $79?

I was told the by a old timer the LC NM ammo with 12XXX lot numbers is very good stuff ( IIRC 63-65 ?) and made on fresh machines good brass and new bullets. the stuff labeled with a different lot number style like 23-56-00 not so much as the years went on?

What fresh hell is this?!?
I’d rather talk about my dead grandma than old ammo prices.

Edit- I see it’s more vintage, but I have box of 9mm Blazer Brass with a $9.99 sticker on it from last year that I treat like an urn.

I would rather talk about your dead grandma too... I do have a box of 60 rounds or norinco 7.62x25 . Price is 9.00...
Your grandma was a good woman

mini mags where always "expensive" i think they where .10¢ each right from the start.
Minimags came out before i started shooting in the 80s , i remember the stingers being expensive also.

I've got a shitload of this stuff......

 

[Howland]

I don't know why I even bought it for $12 when the regular price was $9. Call me stupid for not wanting to miss out on a deal.

I have a couple of boxes FGMM .308 168 grain from Four Seasons, $13.99 sticker, and they are generally more expensive than everybody else on ammo lol

I know this isn't ammo, so maybe it shouldn't be here.

I give my smith “test” ammo like this all the time - property stored and always goes bang.
