Price for older ammo?
Got some Norinco 223 Remington just wondering what the current price would be on this per round. Look to unload a little.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I don't think it's worth anymore than current stuff. The biggest detraction is that it was loaded with BW36 powder, which produces HUGE bright white fireballs. But burned exceedingly clean in my experience.

I don’t think 65 cents per round would be out of line in this environment.

Thank you both for the reply. I did not think it would go for more but just wanted to see if it would be worth selling some of it. My father-in-law gave me a bunch that he had stored. Along with some other old stuff... some was even purchased at circle-K!

Circle K used to be where I'd buy all my dove hunting shells. The good old days.ShallowTech wrote: ↑January 12th, 2021, 9:20 pm Thank you both for the reply.

I used to save yellow front ads.
Yeah kind of weird but that was then.
I had no idea that circle K sold .22 back then.

As a young boy, we lived near a desert area. We used to walk to Circle K, leave our .22’s at the door and go in and buy a box of .22 s, l or lr. Dump them in our pocket. When the pocket was empty time to head home.

I think if I remember right they even had 30-30 and 30-06 at certain times of year. But shotgun shells and 22’s for sure.

Smitty's had a killer gun section. I also liked LaBelle's and yes, even Target back in the day.

Yep. U Totem at 27th and Indian School Rd on the 27th Ave side and Circle K around the corner at the same intersection on the Indian School Rd side.

Re: Price for older ammo?
It's no longer considered out in the sticks, but Campbell's Mercantile, at 91st Ave. & Pinnacle Peak, used to be the last stop for water, gas, snacks or ammo on the way out towards Lake Pleasant back in the 80's when I was in High School. It was just a convenience store, really, although because it was sooooo far out of what we considered to be town back then, and a few people were living out that way,...they became more of a mini grocery and sort of hardware store. So many of us who went out that way to go shooting down in the old abandoned Agua Fria shooting range just north of Jomax and the river bottom,...Campbells found it profitable to have ammo on hand for us dummies who left the house without the ammo we thought we had.
