Federal Gold Medal .22

[musketjon]

I scored a brick of Federal Gold Medal (the 711, not the old 900 A or B) and a 50 round box of Fiocchi Biathlon Match ammo from my neighbor. I want to offer her a fair price for it. I haven't seen either in forever so I have no idea what it's worth. Help.
Thanks

I dug some of mine up but there is no price sticker on it so I am thinking I bought it in a case of 5000 rounds.
The 900 A and B was around $15 a box of 50 if you bought it from a local store and the 711 was around $11 locally to the best of my recollection.
If you look at the picture the boxes look almost identical except the A and B has the velocity on it.
I would get her a gift certificate for a restaurant or a good bottle of wine as you can't count on finding anymore.

Neat for nostalgia's sake, but at 1080FPS (and being old), I wonder how many semi-autos will function reliably with this? I know most of mine would FTE. Still, great for revolvers and non semi-auto rifles. I am betting a gift certificate to a decent restaurant would be much appreciated.

I found 711/711B to be incredibly inconsistent in terms of velocity. It'd be ok for general purpose plinking but match ammo it ain't.

Thank you all for the feedback. Gift cert it is. This will be shot in my US Springfield M1922M1 so not worried about ftf or fte.

I still have about a half a brick of the 711 stuff at the bottom of my ammo box. I'm pretty sure I paid less than $20 for the whole brick at the time (about twice what cheap plinking ammo was going for then). Cycles reliably in my two MKII's, my 22/45, and 10/22, but not really accurate, just so so. Just a little better than bulk ammo.
