    anyone into collectable 12g ammo?

    I have acuired a small amount of 12g ammo from the 80s/90s, in fairly good condition. Redbax, Ranger, falcon etc. Does anyone think this is collectable, or should I just blast it off? Its lead obviously. Anyone have an idea of the value?

    If you have full packets in nice condition then there will be some collector interest - but not high dollar interest.

    If you have loose ammo or part packets of scruffy condition then I would recommend going rabbit shooting

    Find someone in the cartridge collectors and put it into one of their auctions, not for the money, but to pass it on into care!
    I’ve got a collection I’ll move through auction, started collecting at college many moons ago,
    Boom, cough,cough,cough
