Found some old ammo

[Da Yooper]

Was cleaning out my reloading room & found some old Montgomery Ward 22 ammo. Anyone have any idea how old this may be ? I know they closed in 2000 but this box is way older than that.

1980's.

Thanks

Yep that would be my guess as well & it shot to point of aim with no miss fires.

I am going to say during the 1970s and the cartridges were made at that time by Federal Cartridge Company. This is a good read on Montgomery Ward .22 rimfire and actually a good preface on Montgomery Ward (AARON MONTGOMERY WARD).

That box was made from the mid 70's to 1982. Wards rimfire made after 82 was shipped in a blue and white box under the MW Hawthorne brand. All made by Federal.
