Great find!  If you do not mind how much did it set you back?

Awesome find! Years ago I found 4 boxes of 445/357, 2 of each for $20 a box. I have seen them selling for 80 a box a number of years ago.

I have a question for the experts? First I noticed his bullets have a specific bullet brand on the side all mine do not. I have never seen that on the side of a white box. All mine are just 300gr no mention of a brand name bullet in the white boxes but my blue boxes have a 240gr & a 400gr available. This comes to the real question. Were the white boxes still ordered from Dan Wesson or was this a re-loader that maybe was also doing the Dan Wesson stuff back then? I noticed the white boxes all the info is on a sticker that has been stuck to the box. The blue boxes all the info is printed right on the box. Does anyone know the story about this? I did notice the sticker is the exact same size as the Norwich stickers but white on blue instead of full blue. Could it be the blue boxes were early boxes and Norwich started just making their own boxes using stickers on a plain white box? Thx!!!IMG_6609.JPGImage Enlarger

I guess I should have read the fine print on back of the boxes. THe blue boxes made by bullseye shooting supply so I'm assuming Palmer had them making the ammo or maybe Monson. The white boxes have Norwich printed on the box so they were making the ammo in house?

I really, really doubt Norwich, Palmer, or Monson made ammo in house.

I believe ALL the ammo was made by Bullseye FOR Dan Wesson. I recently bought some DW 360 ammo from Bullseye that came in Bullseye boxes but empty DW boxes were included with the purchase. I now have to suspect the collector value of any DW branded value unless it can be proved it was made back in the day. I bought my 445 and 357 Max 10 years ago and it had been in the Pawn shop for a long time. Same ammo, just still being made, at reasonable prices. I also recieved a price list for other ammo Bullseye makes(  new ammo, not reloaded).
