Fair value for a 50-round box of 9mm Silvertips?

[Nathanael_Greene]

Any ideas what a box of 9mm Winchester Silvertips would be worth these days?

I know it used to be pretty expensive stuff, but I can't imagine it's worth anywhere close to a dollar a round (which I've seen it priced at).

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I know I wouldn't pay as much for an old box as I would pay for a new box.

The new Silver-Tip is a better bullet then the old ones used to be.

I wouldn't pay anything more than ATK's Gold Dots or HST. Those are the top line HP's.

Aren't the "old" 9mm Silvertips the reason the FBI moved to 10mm/.40S&W?

Maybe they have value to a cartridge collector because of this, but as a shooter I'd not pay more than the current price of practice ammo for them, unless I was needing JHP to make dramatic "exploding" water jug videos.

Yes. High energy, rapid expander, shallow penetrator, from the "energy dump" days.

I still have a box of 380 and 38 silvertips, neither caliber gun, but I kept the rounds

I came across 2 boxes, I plan on sending them downrange. Back in the 90's they were pretty reasonable ~$16/box. I'll be sending those 9mm Silvertips and others down range:

Thanks for the replies, everyone.
I'm asking myself why I didn't just go to GunBot.net in the first place and let its fingers do the walking...duh.
