.303 Ammo value.

[Duane Hansen]

How much is a sealed can 0f .303 ammo worth. It came in a wood crate that once held two 300 count cans. It has Mark VII on it and 7-68 also. Any ideas?

Is it HXP Duane? I paid $300 a crate (50 cents a round, plus they're in charger clips/bandoliers) last winter. Most will consider that a really good price. S/F, Don

It has .303 BDR on the case and it looks to be an older wood box. Box is green in color. It is in Clips and bandoliers.

No HXP on the box.

There' a British ammo box on Ebay with that mark, perhaps BDR is abbreviation for BANDOLEER. Do you have a loose cartridge with visible head stamp?

It depends, if it's old Pakistani I wouldn't expect much more than $250.00 for the can. If its HXP, some variety of South African, or WCC, especially if non corrosive and/or boxer primed in clips and bandoleers double that. Need to see a head stamp though to know the manufacturer if it isn't on the "spam" can. The clips now run about a buck a piece and bandoleers $3.00 to $5.00 depending on condition, so I figure a value of $70.00 to $90.00 just for those items.
