| I helped my step-father's friend purchase his first firearm today - a 4" stainless Ruger GP100. I went with him to go pick it up and agreed to teach him and his wife to shoot it, he wanted to give me something in return but I declined. He ended up giving me some shotgun shells he found while sorting through his father in laws basement. They are quite interesting and I have not been able to find much info on them. The Box reads "Peters VICTOR U.S. Property Smokeless Shotgun Shells" on top and "Peters Rustless VICTOR Special Heavy Loads 00 Buck - 9 Pellets" They are paper shells but in awesome conditon. Looking for some general info about them, value, maybe when they would have been produced. What forum of ARFCOM would be the appropriate one for this question? |

Try shooting Remington an email about them. Especially if you can find a lot number on the box somewhere(if they did lot numbers that far back) they might be able to tell you production date within a few months.
Great score, I see shabby condition single paper shotshells approaching $5/round at times. If you're into ammo collecting, intact boxes of GOOD shells are a real find. |
