I picked up a box at a gun show years ago and they were extremely accurate. Looked and looked but never found anymore.

I bought box off ebay, back. 6-7 years, they grouped real good, but let them go after I sold my 250, loved the rifle, and wish I had it back but hunted 3 deer seasons, never got to fire a shot with it!

I'd hold on to those and shoot the 87 Hot- Cors, instead.

I'd shoot them, otherwise they are just a paper weight and I don't think you are going to sell them for enough to buy a new truck.

I would shoot them. To a collector the value is in the box as much as it's in the bullets that's in it, and this box is in pretty sad condition. My biggest fear in shooting them though would be if they shot splendidly then where could I get more to keep it up.

I'd hold on to those and shoot the 87 Hot- Cors, instead. My 250 Savage 99 1 in 14” twist shoots the SPEER’s very well. I wonder how they’d work on game though. Those old Remington’s were as good as any 25 caliber bullet , better than most, in my opinion.
I prefer classic.

The guys that use the 87gr version say they do quite well on whitetails and pronghorn.
