What do you guys think? I haven't seen the 147 in some time. Is there collector value to this stuff?

People seem to be hoarding it. I think the last time I saw it, they were asking $40-50 a box.

The Winchester Ranger SXT bullets are basically the same as the Talons without the black paint. I wouldn't put much value on them since they are still available in the form of Ranger T ammo today. Both variants are extremely similar to the Talon design but updated for better performance so they are superior.

It's only worth what someone is willing to give you obviously. Some believe it has collector value or just to say that they have some. I don't believe it has any more value than any other ammo.

Realistically the same price as other HPs so $20/50. But I'm sure you could find some idiot to pay you more that thinks it is magic ammo

That old Black Talons has me in its sights
That old Black Talons that you shoot so well
Icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old Winchester when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel inside
When that elevator starts its ride
That Old Black Talon, none the same.

I think people who collect ammo have theirs by now. Everyone else is better off just shooting it. There's a guy at every gun show who has a whole lot of black talon boxes. He's asking something like $50 per box. He's had the same boxes now for probably 5 years if not more. No one buys it because none of these people collect ammo and no one wants to pay that much for SD ammo
