I have inherited several guns which include several rounds of loose ammo. I'm trying to determine if this ammo is collectible, somewhat rare, or anything no longer available. Specifically these are Western .38 Special rounds with a blunt round copper colored bullet. From internet pics they appear to be 200 gr Western luboloy. I also have some .22 rounds of Peters HV and Super X. Are these rather old and no longer made, or still readily available? Can someone tell me what I have here? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

  You have some old ammo that is no longer made under those names. Western was a trade name used by Winchester many years ago. The Peters HV was made by Remington and the Super X was also a trade name used by Winchester.
  
  The .38 rounds are probably 158 grain Lubaloy. All of what you have is really not collectible unless in full original boxes.

  Thanks Laredo Lefty. As difficult as I've learned it is to get ANY ammo today I think I'll keep these handy.
