Old 30-06 Ammo Question

[Cokeman]

I am thinking about selling some 30-06 ammo that I have and am trying to determine a price. Any idea what it’s worth in today’s market? I have 8 boxes.

In normal times, the boxes would be worth more than the ammo. Nowadays, name your price....

Some auction houses sell the empty box of Kleanbore for $30. I use nothing but 30-06 for hunting and have old Remington boxes with ammo for $7.99. Since I am not a collector that is how much my offer would be.

I remember buying ammunition in these boxes. They can’t be that old can they??

How old are they?

How old are they?

1940s-50s

I have some of the Kleanbore in 30-30. About 10% of them require a second strike to fire.

I have some Kleanbore in 444 which was developed in’64. When did they stop making it?

I give up on Winchester. Searching for “dating Winchester cartridge boxes or any verbiage containing date” may land you on a website that you may or may not like! the Remingtons were easy. What’s up Winchester??

How old are they?

Before cell phones and the internet and probably before color television was available, and most importantly most of the older folks still had pimples and were virgins, including myself.
