Two or 3 things I learned from it.
I. a 222 remington mag would be nice now.
2. A 375 H&H could be acceptable
3 why am I still picking up 16 gauge.

One I already knew most ammo at under 10 a box get while you can.
They think it's funny when I say my grandkids will be shooting this....and I mean it.

If you end up not acquiring a .375 H&H, let me know... One is on my "medium list."

It's not on my list at all so it would have to be a happenstance deal.
If it happens for you 90% sure the ammo would still be in my closet.
I did have to look at one.....lol

That is an interesting box, not sure I've seen that one before. Any idea on vintage?
is the 41 mag vintage as well?

With the child label on the 44 special box it's post 1963 nice looking box though.
I think it says elk creek somewhere....lol
The 41 mag box is 70's ish has a mix of JSP and JHP in it.

Yeah, you need one of each of the guns represented in that box, for the kids of course.

.375 ouch and ouch!! That stuff goes for about $100 a box! I'd say it's a good score!!

They are only 10 round boxes.
I was surprised it's about 5 a pop though.

One of the last great ammo scores for me I think.
The last will be a place I'd rather not see the guy retire from.

The .375 stuff is worth that alone. I have a CZ in that calibre but just use the 235 grain stuff that I reload.
