help with shotgun shells

[badbrass]

What's the worth of these shells? The Sellier & Bellot are trap shells! or some info? Thanks!

i'm not sure the CIL would be allowed on a registered shoot. 1 1/4 oz shot and 3 1/4 dram powder is a little overkill.
Didn't know those were available as trap loads.
No idea on price, a collector might give you more then market.

I've bought lots of older shells like your CIL example just to collect. I rarely spend much over $10 a box.

[badbrass]

So at $10.00 a box? I guy might as well shoot them! Right?

[badbrass]

Well I thought it was all the same in the cases of shells! But found some other ones on the bottom!

[badbrass]

And almost a case of this stuff! Might have to buy a shotgun!

Those are definitely some old boxes of shells. Maybe if you knew a gun collector or someone could put you in contact with one they might offer you more for those then an Average Joe would.

[badbrass]

Ya maybe that's the way to go! the shells are in great condition also! Did not know Woodwards made a shotgun shell, now I know! The Winchester XPERT shell box has a price tag from the bay at $2.99

At one time those C.I.L. loads were used for handicap and International trap.
It's pretty difficult to get any more money than a new box is worth it seeems these days, I have beeen shootiing older factory lloads for a few years now, the heavier stuff we use for when the Sharptails and roosters are flushing further out thann normal - and for magpies and crows.

Thanks Everyone for their input! I will check with someone ( collector )!

Sent you a PM a couple days ago?

I think you should have a print shop make some t shirts with the label from that Woodwards box on the front and sell them at gun shows.

Those Imperial 5's would be a good pheasant load...

Talk about inflation. Now we are paying $29.99 a box

The boxes have value to a collector.

I had about 50 boxes about 7 years ago of old shells like you are posting . Most of them are lead shot .
I placed them on hear for $15.a box , had mag loads etc .not a call so the following week the price drooped to $10. a box . I had a few calls but no one came . The price dropped to $5.00 a box . And they took a week to sell.

I wish I kept them now ,as prices have really gone up .

You should have advertised them on Ebay and a few other places as collector bits at $100 a box. They would have sold quickly.
