Match pellet find

[Binners]

A mate of mine has bought quite a few of these in amongst a job lot. Any idea as to their value please ?

Thank you in advance.

As I know nothing about proper target shooting, I thought I would ask in this section about value etc. Have I come to the wrong section? are these of no use here?



Can you imagine 10,000 pellts at a boot sale

It's possible that they may be more collectable than they are shootable?

Binners, send a pm to David Hughes on here (D R Hughes) or via the bay of e (id4drh) If I recall correctly he had thousands of these amongst the other items he was clearing out when I visited him almost two years ago. I know he has been listing the remnant's of his company's old stock on the bay so he might be able to say how much people have been paying for them.

Usually boxed as on pic are pellets strongly selected for competition shooting, however make is excellent and world famous.

Sometimes the foam gets really 'gungy' with age in these particular packs which can make the pellets almost worthless.
Secondly most target shooters I know are reasonably pellet fussy - buying small stocks of the same make/batch/head size for maximum consistancy so I guess these may be of limited interest...How many have you got?

assuming the foam hasn't gone off they must be worth at least £2 a box

I have got quite a few tins of the original Eley Match pellets from the seventies, and despite keeping them all in a sealed .762 ammo box they have still "gone off" a little bit and so are of more interest to a collecter than a target shooter.

My guess is you friends very interesting find could also be similar?

Having said that, the last time I shot at the NSRA finals at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff (mid seventies) I used a selected tin of H&N pellets like those shown in one of your pictures and I would love to have another tin of them as a "keepsake".

As already mentioned, most target shooters like to buy their pellets in batches to ensure consistency and this would not be possible with an aged supply like the one you have so kindly shared with us.

and the foam condition?

and the foam condition?

The foam is just fine, although the colour is a bit faded around the edge. These tins are sealed and now that he has decided on a price, I will start a new for sale thread.
