    what is fair price for ammo 307, 356, 444

    just wondering opinions of a fair asking price for factory ammo. ii put discussion here as there is no discussion allowed in s&s
    ive got factory boxes of ammo that I realize I will never use. id much rather put together my own loads, some of the ammo is
    25-20 Remington 86 gr, green and yellow box
    307 win, winchester silver box
    356 win, winchester silver box
    444 marlin, hornady superperformance 265gr flat nose

    is $100/box of 50 fair for the 25-20
    should I just go by what the stuff is selling for on gun broker if there is even any listed?

    Bear in mind that primers are 8 to ???? $ per hundred.

    Brass prices for .444marlin are up, over a dollar each.
    Hornady Lever evolution was 3.40 ea and up from there.
    Ammoseek did not list any 444 marlin, hornady superperformance 265gr flat nose.
    Gunbroker also did not have any. They did have brass for sale at 75$ per 50.

    Winchester .356 200 GR SP 2BX 40-ROUNDS FACTORY AMMO 125$
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    These days, I think $50.00 each would be fair.
    Currently casting and loading: .32 Auto, .380 Auto, .38 Special, 9X19, .357 Magnum, .257 Roberts, 6.5 Creedmoor, .30 WCF, .308 WCF, .45-70.

    Agreed on $50 for the 307,356 &444. Probably a little more for the 25 20.

    25-20 is rare enough to charge $75 for 50 and someone will buy it. I have .218 Bee ammo from 20 years ago that has a $37.50 price tag on the boxes.

    I seen 444 going for $80x20 on GB..... And there are people that still say, you won’t save any money reloading.

    I recently bought 3 boxes of 20 rounds each of 25/35 Winchester for $50.00 per box. Have two more boxes waiting in Michigan that cost $55.00 per box. This will give me 100 pieces of brass to reload. Now I need to find bullets and powder. Have a mold that I may be able to cast some projectiles. Need Hornady and Winchester to make some jacketed bullets. You may want to increase the price of your 25/20 to around $2.50 per round.

    I helped a buddy get set up for reloading and casting for his 92 in 25-20. We were lucky to find the later batch of win. factory brass for 25-20. Lots of talk about using 32-20 to make brass for 25-20. Now 32-20 is selling for as much as 25-20. And 32-20 is still a currently loaded cartridge! Nothing is normal today.
