They must of been sitting in the dark all those years. I'm having one of my old worn pre 64 Model 70 220 Swifts rebuilt into a custom 220 Swift so am constantly on the lookout for more brass, was happy to get these.
Other than the usual handful of suspects, with cartridges other than.30-'06, .223, .308 and sometimes .243 and .30/30?
Finding cartridge cases other than these has been largely like finding hen's teeth for a number of years now, when it comes to the big 3 of Remington and Federal and Winchester.
Hoping that reality gets better. In the meantime, somebody took more aches and pains than setting that on a shelf for 40 years. Makes a neat and unusual find that much better!
Try finding the old cowboy bottle-neck cartridge brass made by either Remington or Winchester They do a run at the beginning of the year, and sell out quickly. The only company making 32-20, 38-40, and 44-40 brass year round is Starline.
Very nice.
I wonder if those boxes worth anything to a collector.
Picked up this Winchester 220 Swift brass, 4 like new boxes, 80 pieces.
Sure wish they still packaged them this way, very convenient.
Looks exactly like the stuff I got rid of several years ago.
Looking at prices on my dad's old ammo and reloading supplies makes me depressed.
