    Old Shotgun Shells

    Found some of these if anyone is interested/collects. 15 papers and some old plastics. Still look like you could shoot them too.

    Cool to see this ammo that dates from around the time I got my first shotgun in the 1980's

    Those shells represent the transition from CAC loading papercase, then plastic, then Eley / Stanley plastics after they took over the CAC site.

    Much rather they went to someone who collects, I've shot my share of 12g so firing for the sake seems a waste.

    They will be more interesting to collectors if they have the original box.
