A friend was rehabbing an old house where the owner had moved to an elder care facility. Found a bunch of shotgun shells. I'm keeping the 12s and 20s but there were these three boxes of 16 gauge. I have no idea how old they are but they're not new. Price tags on the boxes show $7 on the Pheasant box and $4 on the Rabbit and Squirrel.
The Pheasant box looks like factory new ammo to me. Brass is a bit dull but not corroded. Hulls are shiny. Crimps look right. 1 1/8 oz of 6s.
The Rabbit & Squirrel box actually has shells that say Winchester Western Duck & Pheasant Load. Same deal; brass is dulled, not corroded. Factory crimped hulls. There are two outliers in this box. A purple Federal 1 oz 6 and a black Remington Long Range 7 1/2, both look factory crimp to me.
The Upland box has Winchester Upland Heavy Field loads. Low brass, dulled but not corroded at all. Shiny hulls. Factory looking crimps. 3 1/4 dram, 1 1/8 oz, 6s.
Looked at Ammoseek and AmmoBuy. This type round is about $20 a box. I'd take $8 per box which seems pretty reasonable to me. You have to take all 3 obxes too so $24. If you think that's nuts then make me an offer.
I would prefer to sell this to someone in the Kansas City area so we can just meet and swap. I really don't want to ship it but if you want it that bad, you'd have to pay shipping.
I'll post pictures shortly.
