Bought boxes of the stuff at a flea market. 10 round loaded SKS stripper clips. Thought I hit the jackpot! Couldn't even sell it. None of the locals knew what it was. Just SKS ammo to them.
If you want to sell the stuff at a premium. Your going to have to hunt up some of the tacicool dudes. Who know what it is. And how the feds have banned it's importation, and commercial sale.
Your probably going to have to sell it locally. Selling it on the auction, would be chancy. I'm sure some of the commy states like CA & MA have all kinds of laws banning it's sale.
My recollection is that you can legally sell only USGI .30-06 & 7.62 mm NATO AP ammo, but it's been a long time since I looked that up. We don't know what you have since you failed to provide us with photos or a description of the ammo & headstamp.
I've seen USGI .30-06 M2 black tip AP sell for up to $1/round; it's almost as accurate as NM ammo. But, realistically, I would hope to get $.50-.75/round if I were selling it.

If it's the Chinese copper washed stuff? My wag it's factory #31, made in 1967.
Don't shoot it in Yugo SKS's or Ruger Mini 30's. Had a guy at work shoot it in his Mini 30, without cleaning it after. With the expected results.
M2 150 gr ball was unmarked and was restricted by directive for target practice only,not combat.
This was all corrosive WW2 stuff as as was the steel canned beer with rust flakes in it.
When I was in, black tipped 30-06 ammo was M-1 Ball 173gr.

Cal .30 (30-06) black tip bullets are AP, not Ball. AP bullets weighed a nominal 165 grains. In mid 1943 AP and Tracer replaced Ball for combat use but Ball was still considered an alternate.
And I believe it was boat tailed.
It came either in metal linked belts or Garand clips, not loose.
My Chinese is 71 marked, steel core but I read it was not a hardened penetrator. Anyway, the preppies seem to want it.
In the GB Auction section it went for a premium at one time.
