I have several old boxes of old CIL, Norma, speer etc bullets for reloading in 308, 311 and 323. Are these worth selling as in are they worth more than normal new bullets you can buy or do I just use them up as per usual?

Since commercial bullets are made by the millions, unless they are really old, oddballs design bullets I can't see them having any collector value. I would say load up & shoot.

My sentiments exactly.In fact I do that on a regular basis and just finished loading some 303 British with some fairly old CIL bullets last week.Good quality and I'm still able to pick up the odd box or two at gunshows at pretty reasonable prices.

"...are they worth more than..." No. You might get a premium for 215 grain .311" though.

CIL made a 150 gr round nose for the 303. I use them for making 150 gr loads for my 7.62x39, since the bullet can be seated for a shorter OAL than a 150 gr spitzer.

Some of the obsolete "Barnes Originals" like the very heavy for caliber (going from memory) 250 gr 308, and 195 gr 7mm fetch a premium.
