Cool find
Interesting....$5 in 1970 is roughly $40 today due to inflation

my employer went in on an estate sale, local pawn shop got all the guns, we got all the ammo and accessories. most has gone away by now, should have taken more pics. if you're gonna hoard, guns and ammo are the way to go!

The exploding bullets are pretty wild. Have a 30-30 you’re willing to test one out in!?

Even back then California sucked!

I have seen a slight trend of ammo makers to lean back towards the olde tyme ammo boxes and away from the shiny, flashy modern stuff. Winchester's rifle ammo is a key example of this. Whomever decided to put those beautiful images of deer and other animals on the box deserves a promotion! A few years back, Federal redid their regular game load shotgun shells to the old blue and white boxes with the red stripe. Those were before my time originally, but it's nice to see the retro look.
