Ammunition fun!

I’ve bought all of these brands. Keeping full boxes of a couple of each just in case 30 years from now one of them becomes a rarity every collectors has to have. Anyone else do the same?

The Hornady and the Winchester, perhaps. I’ve never heard that the less-than-mainstream brands are particularly collectible. OTOH, I know diddly about the world of ammunition collecting. It’ll be interesting to see what knowledgeable say.

I have a few oldies. Not because I collected them as novelty ammo but because I bought them and just never got around to shooting the rounds out of the boxes.

Stay safe.

If it's commonly available today it won't be a rare collectible in your lifetime...if ever. Don't plan your retirement around all the "collectible" ammo you've got stashed in the basement. I've been a serious cartridge collector for 40+ years and have curated a rather extensive collection of rare issue and experimental military ammunition. I'll probably be able to sell the top 5-10%, and the rest will become somebody else's basement full of junk.
Sad but true.

+1, sad but true!
Compared to you I'm a rookie collector. Someone will have to deal with this stuff when I'm gone. But its been fun!

Not collectable, fun to have, and shoot.
IHMO in our lifetime center fire ammo will illegal to own.
