Ruger Ammo

[Highstandardguy]

I finally got my 70th anniversary ammo shown here with my Ruger American rollout ammo. Is there any other Ruger "collector" .22 ammo?

 

[Rocdoc]

Ordered my 70th ammo seems like a month ago? Hear it is slow to arrive. Unaware of the American edition, does it have the Ruger headstamp? Try to buy commerative ammo when I see it.

I'm still in search of the American .22 rf ammo for my collection.
And to answer your question,, yes,, there was some other .22 ammo made decades ago,, and I've only seen a few boxes. None were for sale. I'll see if I can find my picture.

 

[contender]

I looked,, and my picture wasn't where I thought it was. I'll see if I can find one.
Basically,, it's a very plain box & most likely from the late 1950's to the early 1960's if my memory is correct.

I believe there’s a picture of it in John Dougan book.

It has a Super X head stamp. The 70th ammo ships from CCI.

Do you have any idea who manufactured it?

Bought mine thru TargetSports. It arrived in a week and a half, for $3 less per box. 8)

Bingo!!!!!!!
I have a picture I took of a box somewhere,, but Dougans book has an excellent picture of the ammo. Page 76,, of his book; "The Vintage Years!" Also a brief description of it as best he could find. Made "prior to 1961!"

Be aware , Target Sports much cheaper than Ruger, but they do F you charging tax.

Thanks, I'll call tomorrow, they hit me $28 bucks tax

 

[WAYNO]

I did check with them. TargetSports does charge sales tax for buyers registered in states that require sales tax to be collected.

 

[Rocdoc]

I called too, obviously Gov Abbott wants my taxes.Thanks, I do love Texas, still cheaper than Ruger

 

[RSIno1]

Guess I won't be adding any unless I stumble across some at a store. CA new ammo law makes it very hard and expensive to mail order ammo.

Super X headstamp is Winchester not CCI.

 

[Highstandardguy]

Yes it is. That’s what’s on the 2013 ammo.

 

[Rocdoc]

Sort of funny, broke my ànkle wife griped ever inch dragging in a case

 

[Highstandardguy]

How were yours packaged? When my boys were in Cub Scouts they had an egg drop every year where they had to package a raw egg to survive a drop. Then they were all loaded in a National Guard helicopter and dumped out from the air. That’s the way the ammo I got was packaged. I think it would have survived the fall. I guess Ruger learned something from the 2013 debacle.

Ty,
I have a picture of the ammo you are talking about.

[Highstandardguy]

Thanks Terry. I’ll be surprised if I ever see on of those in real life.

 

[circlergrugers]

I believe very few made, not many have surfaced, only a few known. I’m guessing they thought of it, then scrapped the idea!

 

[contender]

Yep,, that's the scarce one I'd LOVE to find.
