Hey folks,
I've got a few boxes of ammo and just boxes I have been holding on to but I'm really starting to wonder if it's worth holding on to or if I should just shoot it and get rid of the boxes. Here's what I have: Full Box  Both boxes full  Full Box    Are any of these really considered collectible? If so, is the ammo collectable or just the boxes? The first box is a wadcutter hydra-shok. What kind of price should I look to sell these at if I sell them? Thanks, Bill This message has been edited. Last edited by: mtb1bkr, US Marine 13 Years and counting NRA Life Member |

WOW! Those Scorpion Hydra-Shoks take me back to when I was a young deputy and carried that ammo in my snubby BUG. It was a reversed wadcutter that had a center post in the cavity set back about ⅛" from being flush with the case mouth.
Wish I could help you with collector value, but I'd have to be able to call myself a collector before I could give a collector's opinion.

That right existed prior to the formation of the new government under the Constitution and was premised on the private use of arms for activities such as hunting and self-defense, the latter being understood as resistance to either private lawlessness or the depredations of a tyrannical government." - U.S. Court of Appeals, D.C. Circuit, March 9, 2007 "...what is not debatable is that it is not the role of this Court to pronounce the Second Amendment extinct. We affirm the judgment of the Court of Appeals. It is so ordered." --Justice Antonin Gregory Scalia, 26 June 2008, DC v. Heller |

Hey, thanks for showing us these boxes of ammo. I'd probably hang on to it but that's just how I am. It probably isn't collectible yet but will be before too many more years.

I would hang onto that box of Scorpions, for sure. As the first commercial Hydra-Shok and ancestor of all Hydra-Shoks to come, it should have good collector value, though I couldn't tell you how much. They did not make a lot of that ammo, though. The other stuff, I can't help with much.

The S&W ammo is quite possibly the worst crap ever called ammo in the history of the US. It was back in the bad old days of the 70s and 80s when you had to buy Smith's crap holsters and ammo on a dollar for dollar basis with their revolvers to get the guns. I think most of it was loaded by Fiocci (sp?) and it was poor quality to be kind.
