Vintage Box Of Old HOT HOT Super Vel
Oh Golly Gosh...How old is this box of hollow point "Flying Ashtray" ammunition?
 And I am older than that!  I thought some of you younger forum members might enjoy seeing this photo of SUPER VEL vintage ammo. This was THE Kick A$$ .45acp Ammo of the day. And they still look like they were just made yesterday.  |

I've actually heard about these. Never thought I'd see them.

I wouldn't mind having a box or two of those. Are the cases reloadable? |

Yep, reloadable. I only have this one box. As much as I am really wanting to shoot them all up...I think I'm going to just hold onto them for a few years & see how much it climbs in value. I remember it was fairly EXPENSIVE ammo back then.

Thinking About It
I am More Vintage than an old box of Super Vel.
Super Vel went out of business in 1976 just FYI I think (way back when) the Secret Service used the 110 gr .357 Super Vel loading.

Similar theme - here is a small selection of old .22 mostly - some is the old, old copper type cases - very corroded now and most will not fire. I have had some of these since early 60's.
Just a bit more ammo history.
