If winchester came out with the 308 in 1952 ( aprox. )which was 2 years before the 7.62x51 was adopted by Nato,when did the US start loading it at LC or Frankford ? Just thinking that i have some LC International Match dated 1954 that i have been shooting and just thought it might be collectable if it was some of the early stuff.Or should i just shoot it ?

  hello. if its in the sealed boxes that say match on them, then yes, it is worth money. if the boxes have been opened, they are worth considerably less. if they are single cartridges, just shoot it up.

  They are in the Match boxes but it looks as if the paper has been cut very neatly on all the boxes in all the cans.I had a guy tell me that they had some that they shot in matches but they had to have the bullets seated a little deeper to go in the M1A or M14.Wonder if this was done at LC or at Armory ?
