Ok I am starting a cool new thread on "HOW AMMO USED TO BE PACKED COOL

I would hope this becomes a group thread on seeing all the cool ways old classic hunting ammunition or even military ammo used to be packed with all the neat little trinkets and intense packing methods employed by various ammunition manufactures.. I've become kinda fascinated with this whole side road of being a GUN NUTZ... SHOW US WHAT YOU HAVE!!!:agree:

FIRST UP..

A box of old DOMINION (C-I-L) 303 BRITISH. This box of 180 GR. Sabre Tips was packed like a box of fine cuban cigars... CHECK IT OUT.

NOTICE HOW IT LISTS THE ROSS AND OTHER TYPES OF SPECIFIC .303 RIFLES ON THE BOX... COOL, YOU DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE...;)

Pretty COOL, Browning put this little mini hunters guide neatly folded inside with the ammo.. YOU DON'T see this much anymore...

Just look at those cartridges, fresh from the factory. MOOSE GETTERS.

Fold open the mini guide and CHECK IT OUT.. Its chalk full of hunting tips... Remember how back in the day we just paid no attention to this fine detail in ammunition packaging.. Lets see what you have to show ....

Some old 32-40 with slip on top box &
a box of primers, all laid out in little wooded rows.

And a box of .303 Ball, of course with the typical
"NOT FOR USE IN AIRCRAFT' warning on the label :D

Hey I have a full box of those Supremes from Canadian Tire. Mostly because I don't have a 12 gauge.

Gallen270, your pictures just give me a headache.... Stand back farther and zoom in. Use Macro.
 
There should be a little flower icon. That is the close up function. Need that.

To prevent the flash from wiping out close up pictures, put a piece or two of white paper over the flash. That will tone it down. I have a old digital devoted to close up pictures for CGN. I have taped the paper in place.
 
Canadian Tire, Dominion, Canuck brands....sigh. Classics. And now all gone. Canadian Tire is increasingly anti-gun and CIL does paint. Sigh.:(
 
Aftermidknight I really like those CIL 38 Specials... CLASSY. Yep j-man Canadian Tire used to really be a CANADIAN STYLE store what with their own brand of hunting ammo... I used to buy all my shot shells in those classy brown boxes.. KEEP ER COMING.
 
Notice how much ammo USED to be made in Canada?
And now, with the population twice or three times what it was back then, we have self appointed "Experts" telling the rest of us that there cannot be a Canadian arms or ammo industry because we are too small a market.

I say fire up the factory, and lets all go buy homegrown ammo!

Also, look for the MACRO button on your camera. It may be signified by a little flower icon. That'll focus things up close.
