Oldies but goodies ammo edition

[Desk Jockey]

A little blast of nostalgia for your Tuesday. Cleaning out my step dad’s ammo horde. Pretty sure these 30-06s are 1970s from Woolworth.

Always like seeing the older boxes for ammunition. Maybe it is nostalgia, maybe their prints or labels, or perhaps both. Just cool...

That price is nice too...

 

[Sinistram]

Cool! They look in good shape, too. That ammo will probably fire factory fresh I bet.

$4.99 ain't that bad either!

PSP Accelerator if i remember right

Yep.
I remember using the 'Accelerator' out of my 30-30 too

The older I get..... the more I appreciate the "vintage" stuff, need to start a thread for Roksliders to post pics of their vintage gear. (or is there already one around?)

Very fast, in my rifles the term “groups” had to be applied loosely.

Here’s a couple I rescued from the trash a few years ago that still have the ammo…I had to look up the .45 to learn about it.

Yeah, I was too young to remember it going off the market, but that's what I heard. Neat concept but shot like junk out of most people's rifles. They had 30-30 and 308 versions, too.

These are pretty old....they lived in my grandpa's glass door gun cabinet for as long as I can remember. I'm guessing he bought about 4 boxes when he bought the old Winchester. I shot up 2.5 boxes almost 30 years ago when I started hunting and this is what's left. The old Pre64 Model 70 likely hasn't been shot more than 32 times!

Here’s part of a collection. Everyone should appreciate the look of a old box of shotgun shells.

Here's a few

Thanks for posting these up! Something about that bright yellow Winchester Super X box in particular brings back deep childhood memories of PA deer hunting.

I got lucky long ago when a local hardware - marina went out of business. Got all the advertisement tins from REM, Win that were on the wall. Really cool stuff. Still have my Dads stuff mostly 50' and 60's. Remember paper shotgun shells? Still have red 16 ga. before they became purple. 1962 Browning Twelvette.
