A neighbor dropped 3 boxes of vintage .30-06 off to me today knowing that I recently got my CMP Garand in.
Two boxes (one full, one mostly full) of Sears "Ted Williams" .30-06 150gr soft-points and a box that is a mix of Remington of unknown weight and Federal 165gr .30-06.
Depending on the velocity/pressure of the Sears stuff, I could likely throw it in the Garand for hunting this year. The Federal and unknown Remington on the other hand aren't worth risking. Guess that means I have to buy another .30-06 rifle to use it huh?
Doubt there's much collector value to these boxes but figured I'd run them by you guys before using the ammo to make sure.
The Sears stuff has the "Sears" headstamp while the federal is FC and Remington is R-P (for Remington Peters I assume?) and they are both in plastic belt carriers.
