Canadian Rimfire Ammo over the Years

I'm new here, so maybe this was posted before. Bunch of other oldtimers will remember these boxes, I grew up with super cleans and whiz bangs. It's a .pdf so it will take a minute to load and you need AdobeAcrobat.

WOW!! I'm a bit taken aback by how many of those ammo types I have seen [and shot]

Most of the "Dominion" ammo from the early 1950's on. Even a few boxes from earlier than that.
The Winchester, Remington and Gevelot of the same era.
Some of the repackaged stuff from XL Explosives [now Higginson's]

Quite a few others I recognized.

Dates one, that is certain!

Regards, Eagleye.

If I remember correctly we got a few boxes of the Gevelot LR's in the early 60's and they had nickel plated cases, as a teen that was a majour cool round.

Got my first .22 at 13, a hand me down Winchester 67 single shot, dad only let me use bb caps on my own till i got a hunting licence at 15. White box with blue lettering CIL
