I have a mess of old C.I.L ammo in various states of disreoair to the boxes.
The box is even more important thann the ammo.
I fired off about 30 mixed 20 gauges this summer, both Canuck and Imperials and I have some Maxums as well.
I was given some ammo the other day that hurt just looking at it - 2 3/4", Number 4 heavies, 1 7/8 OZ OF LEAD!!
The ducos were pretty good ammo, but all paper shells deteriorate over time, and I can only get one loading out of most of the paper 3" 20's I have , they develop pin holes at the top if the brass.
These were 3" , 1 1/4oz loads , MAX drams equiv.!!
