Hi everyone,
I hope this is the place for this post. I am hoping that the experts can give me some information on shootability of a partial box of 45 auto and the collectability/value of several other 45 auto bullets.
The box says the following: Western X Center Fire Cartridges...45 Auto 230 Gr Full Metal Case, Nickel plated case oilproof. The inside flap has the following numbers 96 63BC6...I assume that's the lot number/year manufactured?? There's about 22 of them left. Case is stamped W-W 45 Auto. I'm going to shoot them if you guys think they're safe to shoot.
The individual bullets are:
RA 63- I have 2 of them, think it's Remington Arms...made in 63??
EC 42- have 2 of them, think this one is Eau Claire, WI or Evansville OH plants...made in 1942
TW 5 - have only one, think this one is Twin Cities Ordinance MN, not sure what the 5 means.
Not sure why my grandfather had these individual bullets...maybe they meant something to him...guess I'll never know.
Thanks in advance for the help!
