Hi guys
Bought an old .22 that came with a bunch of older ammo, a right mixed bag.
Is it worth the hassle listing these nowadays or better off plinking it off into the dirt.
It's ICI, ICI shorts, cobra and other bits. Will put up some photos once sorted through them.
Shoot possums etc with it?
Vintage ?
I’m still using that stuff on rabbits :)
Full packets in tidy condition have some collector value. Please put some pictures up.
Cobra isn’t all that old 1990s
"Cobra" was marketed by Kilwell Rotorua in the late 1980's onwards. It was re-branded Winchester Superspeed HV hollowpoint and was good stuff.
Don't think they are up to serious collectors standards.Quote:

The batch in the whisper box is a real random mix.
Got another box but it's so corroded it needs to be disposed.
Got plenty of modern subs for that, all same brand/ weight.Quote:

Now I chuck a scope on ,sight in with ammo we already have in stock and if it shoots good enough for hunting am not messing with it.
Only really old possibly collectables are the 2 ICI packets.
Thanks @Marty HenryQuote:

Ive got some pretty old ammo I use on possums. They still die. This stuff is still marked in shillings and pence or whatever it was back then and looks to be copper cases

Because they are smallish compared to say shotshell pkts, I have a box of .22 I'll find and put up a pic.
My main interest is shot shell boxes, I display 1500 on the walls of my gun room.
My cousin down the road has 5000 plus
Put them all away in a box and find it again every few years so you can feel nostalgic about the old days, then put it away again. You’ll get more out of it that way than blasting it off
Those packets with the red r on a shield is the stuff Ive got in that previous postQuote:
