Vintage Remington ammo is it worth anything or just worth sending downrange?????
« on: June 20, 2014, 03:49:04 PM »
I've recently come into posession of several boxes of vintage remington ammo.  Its labeled as "45 Automatic Targetmaster 185 grain wadcutter."  From the small ammount of research I have been able to do, it appears that the ammo is from 1962-1963.  I do not see any signs of corrosion, no water damage, so It would appear the ammo should be ok to fire.  However, if there is a collector market for vintage remington ammo, I would much rather dispose of it there.  Any info would be greatly appreciated

Shoot it up if you got a 45 that will eat it. Not every 45 will feed wadcutter ammo. Expect a bad primer or two.

If it were military ammo from the big wars it may be worth something.

Thanks Teichi.  I did a google search, just trying to figure out when it was made, and all these "vintage ammo" collector and auction sites start popping up.  So I go from trying to figure out manufacture dates, to looking at auctions where people were trying to sell empty boxes of old ammunition.  I started to wonder if I had something more here, then just range ammo.
