Well, yer a breakin' my heart with all that good as gold ole ammo! It belongs in some fools collection (like mine). There are actually old fools (like me) who seek it all out.
Back in the fall of 2008 when the ammo scare started, some body realized it was a good time to dump their old and unsalable ammo. So they brought a couple of dozen wood boxes with all sorts of ammo. Best part was it was priced fairly. My gunshow partner Joe found the table first. So he did what he always does, looted it. But he already had so much he couldn't carry it. When I saw it I trailed him back to the tables. Then I bought up all the moldy old ammo (it wasn't moldy).
For those of us who own odd calibers that aren't normally stocked in gun shops, it was a gold mine. I ended up with so much it took a couple of trips out to the jeep. Even old Charlie Sherrill made a few comments that I should leave a little for the other guys! My response was "why?" And I've been known ever since as an ammo hoarder.
But then I've got 15 boxes of .30 Luger ammo!
Bet Y'all don't!
