Some old ammo - any insight would be helpful

[adanacdjm]

I was digging through some old boxes of gun cleaning stuff and I came across some interesting ammo.

First up a box of 'Canadian industries limited dominion ammunition division 44-40 shot' (has somewhere around 40-50 rounds)

Does this stuff have any value? Collectible?

Also found some 6.5x55 VI 46 48 HA Danish rounds - turns out they are listed as dangerous as the metal becomes brittle after time.
They are stamped 'VI 46 HA' - I stumbled across an EBay add for these rounds - selling them for $4.60 a round to collectors.

Very odd looking shell - I think my dad had these for his 1908 Norwegian Krag Model 1897 Carbine for Mountain Artillery and Royal Engineers.

And finally some loose R A 1947 (years stamp on bottom of shells range from 1937 to 1951). Not sure which gun they for - I think the RA may be Remington Arms - they look like a 6.5 x 55 mm casing but I'm not an expert.

Thanks in advance for any input, comments on what I've found in the old shoebox of odds and ends.
Regards,
Dave

I cannot say what the value of the .44-40 shot rounds are in Canada but I am sure they would be of interest to collectors.

The third lot are 6.5x55 made by Raufoss Ammunisjonfabrikker in Norway, not Remington Arms. Both the lots of 6.5mm are surplus military ammunition that has been reloaded with soft point bullets for commercial sale. This was almost certainly done by/for Interarms in the 1960s.
