    30 Carbine Sears ammo

    Hello fellows.

    Who did this Sears ammo? Any experience with them? They're worth it?

    Regards
    Eddie

    I don't know if it would be great ammunition or not but I always thought Winchester made it for them.that ammo has to at least be from the 1960s or 70s because Sears hasn't sold ammo for a very long time. It's neat to see the old graphics on that box

    You're right, but if that ammo was in dry conditions will work just fine

    I'm suggesting sell it to collectors and buy new ammo.

    Sears Ammo by Federal

    I bought a box of Sears .30-06 ammo at a Pawn/Gun Shop a few weeks ago.
    Each cartridge has FC stamped on the brass, so I assume it’s Federal Cartridge.

    I think I’ll probably not shoot any of these, since it’s a full box.
    I paid the asking price of $20.

    If I read that price tag right - $4.69 would be about 23.5 cents/round. The "good 'ol days" for sure! - Bob
