I believe the Precision 200 and the Rem/UMC shorts are the most valuable in the lot. The .25 RF’s are good too. Most of the others generally sell for around $10 (the Chicklets box will bring a little more).

The Standard Catalog of Winchester has quite a bit on ammo and Dunn’s Catalog of .22 Boxes is a standard reference for rimfire collectors. The child safety warning was mandated by the Fed’s in 1962.
 
The Winchester MKIV was designed as a serious target round in answer to the Eley Tenex as was it's predecessor MKIII. Shoots extremely well in all target rifles like a 52 Winchester, 37 Remington, Anschutz etc.

thanx for the info, Chad.
not that i am going to sell them, but what would you value the 2 more desirable boxes? they are both full and the rem/umc is unopened.

Mark IV is PISTOL MATCH, but as indicated, will usually shoot well in most rifles.

Good shooting.

You're welcome! I would expect to see each priced at around $100 by a dealer. If the Precision 200 box was in better shape, it would bring more. Ammolady (check google) has a perfect example priced at $250, but that seems really high to me. Your Rem/umc box looks about perfect.

I don't really collect .22 ammo, but I find it interesting and have accumulated some over the years. I wrap the good boxes in cellophane to keep them clean and prevent damage.
