Home for the weekend find - Silver Tipped Bullets

[mjm579]

This isn't a garage sale find, my dad has had these since 1976.

Apparently my grandfather bought these for him "back in the day" (his words, not mine)!

I went on to eBay and someone is trying to sell the box for $40, and the box on there is in terrible condition.

Any ideas on value?

Not sure of the value but in today's climate....ammo prices are high.

If you do sell remember the contents of the box can't be sold on Ebay.

Also shipping can't be done through the postal service.

UPS is the best bet and it must be marked ORM-D

I believe the tip is actually aluminum so do go werewolf hunting just yet. ;-)

If you wanted to sell or find a value I'd try gunbroker dot com. I did a quick google and saw someone sold a box back in '07 for $78.

Nice find.

I was thinking that as soon as I saw the thread title. Someone would probably pay HUGE for something that could take down a werewolf.

Probably work on Zombies too but I'm not sure. ;-)

It seems they used those in hollow points to give a more consistent flight path.

It's hard to find a dealer to buy ammunition from a private party.............. the reason they do not know if they are reloads.......... and there has been some that got reloads and got hurt using them........they were not loaded right................... and people will lie to a dealer and tell him they are not reloads when they are.......... Now my 30-30 amo looks like that except the silver nose on mine is lead........

Hold onto them, keep them dry and don't damage the box. They will only go up in value
