7.62 nato bandoliers

[triggerman42]

I have a few 60 rnd bandoliers of 7.62 nato ammo. These are the Canadian green rubber bandoliers. This is Dominion Arsenal ammo. The headstamps are "DA 62".
Would there be any interest in these as collector ammo ? Or should I just shoot it?

They aren't making any more of it. I suggest putting in storage. Whatever value it has will only increase.

it should be good ammo. The best we ever made.

I was told that 62 was a very good year for accuracy. And the brass is excellent for reloading, once the primer pockets are decrimped.
If I was to sell some of this stuff. What would be a fair price to ask? Is it more "collectable" because its in bandoliers? Or is it just more , shootable , surplus ammo? I was thinking $48 per 60 round bandoier. Does that seem fair?
I realy dont care if I sell it or not. I'd be just as happy to shoot it. But if it has collectable appeal , maybe it would be a shame to shoot it. So what is the consensus? Should I head for the range? Or offer it up for sale ?

More collector value than shooter value...but not a huge difference.

How much do you have, and where are you?

This stuff wasn't packaged that way for very long. I had 2 cases of the 64 in the rubber bandolier and shot it all, I regret not saving at least one bandolier intact.
I do have all of the fired brass which is good.
