I have a pack of 1,000 CCI #200 primers. What are they worth, and
do they deteriorate with age? Have two boxes of ought six ammo, and
two boxes of brass. What is all that worth? Just want to sell it
for a friend who's aging. And about fifty looks to be Jap rifle
rounds 7.5 and TOYO marked (stamped) on the base.

Thanks

Last x thousand #200s I bought were $12 per thousand. August of last
year. Now I understand that they are up around $45 per thousand.
Make
of which you want from that.

06 ammo is about a dollar a round to 1.50 a round at current pricing.
Normally its about .50 cents a round. (depends on brand and bullet as
well)

Brass, if once fired is worth a dime each.

The jap ammo, if boxer primed and in good shape are worth about $1-2
each for once fired cases. Hard to find and not very common. And
nearly
impossible to make from other cases. Ive paid $2.50 a round for once
fired 7.7 jap.

If its 7.5 marked..its possible to be Swiss or even French caliber.
....

Hope that helps

7.7's can be fire-formed from '06 brass - but the neck will be short .
I've got 20 rounds (semi-commercial reloads , from '06 brass), but out of 5
rounds I've fired , I got two head seps , one shoulder crack , and two split
necks . It might be that my type 99 has excessive headspace , or it might be
that these were loaded way too hot . I need to get it checked ... wouldn't
happen to have a go-no go set for 7.7 , would you ?
