Salvaging Ammo Parts and Age

[usabaker]

Those bullets should be valuable...cases are boxer or Berdan? Although 8mm brass is fuggin' hard to get around here, seems just as hard to sell when you have a smack.

Not sure but my guess they are Berdan. Got them for .03 cents each awhile back. They were all loose and not kept in controlled storage, but no visible deterioration. I haven’t tried shooting them. Same is true for the 7mm. The 30-06is a whole different story, US WWII and Pre-WWll lots with case corrosion visible. Not sure of the collector value of any of it

Unless it's in nice, clean boxes or a specialty round (colored tips: armor piercing, tracer, frangible, etc) then no. No collector value to speak of. Pulling the bullets would give you the best, ahem, bang for your buck.
