Remington .22 ammo...need opinions

[Winamac]

I am in need of some opinions. I have a few Remington collector tins of .22 ammo. Some are tins from Wal-Mart with wildlife scenes and some are Remington NASCAR shaped tins I have had both for about 3-4 years. Given the current shortage of .22 ammo I have considered shooting the ammo from these tins. What are you thoughts? Mistake...yes...no...maybe? Please advise. Thanks

They honestly aren't going to be any more valuable than the cardboard boxed bricks. I say shoot them, then just set the tins on a shelf and refill them when 22 ammo is abundant again.

Who knows what the collector market would be for these unopened tins 50/60 years from now. Impossible to predict.

If I could predict such things I never would have sold my 72 Corvette.

^^^^^^ This. if you need ammo Shoot them. you just don't know what things will be worth later.

I don't think they will have much collector value, and Remington bulk ammo is the worst .22 ammo I have ever shot. Very inconsistent, and many duds.

If you don't shoot them, one of these days you'll be in the nursing home and your neighbor who bought them in a garage sale for $5 will.

Some are tins from Wal-Mart:

Walmart's business model is to sell in bulk. Though the production run was limited, I assure you there are tons of those tins out there, thus will be worth little in your lifetime.

I bought some Remington ammo, in a Nascar Tin, when Rick Mast was driving. Still have the ammo. It is good to shoot, AFAIK.....

50/60 years from now?? Heck I'm 50 now that means I probably would not be around to cash in. Heck with that, I want to enjoy the shooting now.

You mean something like this?.... Unless you find a collector, no... Only worth the price of the ammo.

AFAIK???If I may ask. What does that mean?

As far as I know.

HA, Just as there are tons of those PEZ dispensers that folks collect. And they aren't even a lifetime old yet.

Then of course shoot it.

That has to be your decision. When I was a kid, I used Mickey Mantle baseball cards as bicycle spoke flappers. Who knew?

Anything sold as a collectable usually is not.
shoot the ammunition and don't worry about it.
