Title: Any Info or Knowledge On These Shells?
Post by: RossAnderson on April 12, 2020, 03:05:43 PM
First off Happy Easter to everyone. Hope everybody has a good day. Was lookin around in my grandpas old huntin room and found these shells. I can't find any info about them on the internet, must not be typing in the right search. I figured somebody on here would surely know. Let me know what you think. Was hoping I could find out what years these were made.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200412/92189f94e24d0fde702772030efce10c.jpg)

Man don't throw out the box, it is a piece of art in and of itself.

They are probably worth something. Hold on to them.

Cool find but I don't think they are old. Older shells didn't put the velocity. But did put the amount of drams on the box. Don't quote me on that but pretty positive I read that.
