Norma 6.5

Just found these in a box of ammo along with some FC headstamped 30-06 and 8mm and am wondering if there is any value to them or should I throw them back in to the box. they are norma head stamped 6.5x55 with a marked primer (NP is the mark) and they are at least twenty years old

6.5×55 is still a fairly popular round. Somebody who has a Swedish Mauser may want to fire them, but they have no special value that I can think of. They are a commonly available chambering and Norma still makes them.

Have 70 virgin Norma 6.5x55 and 50 1x fired if your Swedish babes would like company....

Graff's sells 20rd boxes of 6.5x55 Norma brass for $17/20

Anyway, should be able to sell them pretty quickly. Never know who collects vintage Norma packaged stuff...
