My stepfather is a logger and gave a nice old lady a couple cords of wood recently. He didn't want payment but the women insisted he take a couple boxes of reloading items from her late husband. He wants to sell the items since he doesn't reload.

He gave me one box of items and it is filled with old reloading manuals and bullets. I am not sure if the bullets are collectable since I don't know the age. I am looking for market value on all of the bullets. Also, if any one is familiar with these items, how old are they?

Also about 1400 primers were found. They look fine but don't know if they are any good.


I have the following:

11 boxes of 50 of the Winchester Western .38-55 255 grain soft point.
1 box of 100 Sierra .30 cal 165grain hpbt bullets
1 box of 100 Sierra .30 cal 180 grain Match King HP
1 box of 100 Speer 30 cal 150 grain Spitzer
1 box of 100 Speer 30 cal 130 grain hollow point
1 box of Hornady (about 50 in box) of .30 caliber 180 grain spire point
1 box of 100 .38 caliber jacketed hollow cavity 150 grain
1 box of 100 .38 caliber jacketed soft point 125 grain
1 box of around 50 30 cal 110 grain RN bullets

Any help in pricing these bullets would be appreciated

I see broken seals on the bullet boxes, so price depends on how many bullets remain.

Easy to get $12 for unopened boxes. Take off orginal price sticker.

Current price is about $20. If you ask $15, that's not enough of a "deal".

38-55 bullets, niche market here. What is the diameter of bullets? $10 a box?

Primers, ask $2 per 100.

Quit leading him on, the whole lot is worth about $20 where do I send the check      All kidding aside those prices look about right to me.
