Brass Shells
« on: August 26, 2010, 06:59:15 PM »
I was looking through the storage area and came across a box of Ducks Unlimited 50th Anniversary (1987) commemorative ALL BRASS shotgun shells...measure just a little shy of 2 1/2"..
Does anyone know what they are loaded with? I know it is modern smokeless powder, but the overshot card just has the DU logo on it and not the shot size..so I was wondering what shot size they might be.

 I memory serves me, they were made in two shot sizes....4's and 2's...but I'm getting older and some things don't work like they use to....LOL!

Actually I was thinking about shooting them and then reloading with black powder for one of my damascus barrel hammer guns that belonged to my grandfather...was also wondering if the shot size was something I could use on turkeys

 I have 1 of those shells, given to me by a gun shop owner. All he had was #4s, didn't get any #2s. I'm not as old as Bill, so everything of mine works fine.   *peep*
