I was helping a friend move today and he was giving me some stuff he didn't want/need anymore. He popped open a box with all his old cop stuff in it (San Antonio PD) and pulled out a taped up partial brick of 22LR. He doesn't have any 22's around anymore so they became mine.
Well when I got them home, I started looking closely. I got 332 rounds of "Remington target 22 Long Rifle STANDARD VELOCITY". It is packaged in 50 round boxes (like a modern brick) but the boxes are dual tone green. They look old. The headstamp on the cartridges is a big "U" as opposed to the current Remington's "Rem". "RIM FIRE" is also printed as two words on the box. Technical info is stated as:
Bullet Weight: 40 grains
Bullet Style: Solid Point
Velocity: 1145 fps/muzzle
975 fps/100 yds.
Energy: 116 ft. lbs./muzzle
94 ft. lbs./100 yds.
Mid-range traj.: 100 yds./4.0"
Oh, I almost forgot, the address on the box isn't what Remington currently uses:
Remington Arms Company
Bridgeport, Conn. 06602
Also the box has a "DU PONT" logo on it and advertises "KLEANBORE PRIMING" I am kind of interested in how old they might be, even approximately. I have just never seen any cartridges just like this from Remington. My curiosity has been aroused.
