I sold all my 7mm ammo a few years ago, but it was all headstamped from the 1930's I believe. I think I got it from Samco when they were still in business.FAMAE 7x57 Mauser ammo headstamped 1976

Yeah i got a thousand rounds from samco also, mine was from the 1920's all was very clean and shot fine. I have been going thru my supplies and finding ammo and primers stashed in cans at bottom of ammo can stacks in the back, so trying to rotate a lot of it to the front to be used first, 30 06, 8mm,7mm,308, 223 and moreI sold all my 7mm ammo a few years ago, but it was all headstamped from the 1930's I believe.

The headstamp on the Spanish stuff would have been FNT for Fábrica Nacional de Toledo
Do you still have the rifle the ammunition was for? Mauser?It was spitzer. I don't remember the headstamps.

I bought a lot of bricks for $6 to $8 in the mid 70's. They were not SuperX, but the cheaper lines.I have a couple boxes of SuperX .22 form Kmart. Sticker says 49 cents (50 rounds) Imagine that. A brick of .22s for 5 bucks...I think from the 70s
I have some of that somewhere around here. Good stuff!One box of Shelbyville made Super-Vel 9mm, tried to sell it during last panic, nobody wanted it, it now lives in the back of the safe, where it will stay till hell freezes over, or the Russians invade. View attachment 187049
