Who remembers buying shotgun shells when a "CASE" of shells was 20 boxes....500 rounds?

Here! I slung a lot of 7 1/2 shot , Federal field loads at doves bout 50 years ago.

I don't recall how many, but it was a heck of a lot more than I can get now, and they were cheap.

And paper hulls

I shot, and we sold those same shells at Otasco yrs ago, and there were 20 boxes in a case and if I remember right a case sold for a good bit less than 100 bucks....

My late Daddy shot Western Super-X high brass 20 gauge shells with 7.5 shot out of a 1952 Remington Wingmaster. He would buy a case from Phillips hardware in Columbus, GA. in the early 60's for $45.00 tax included.

Yep. A case of high brass sixes and a case of high brass 7 1/2’s a year. Lol don’t use that many rounds in 10 years now.

I remember shooting 2 or 3 of those cases a season………those days are long gone.

Yup. And we called a 10 box half-case a flat because it was only one box of shells high and the full case of 20 boxes was double stacked.

I’ve got some federal 16ga, 2-3/4” lead 7.5s, with ducks and geese on the plastic shell. They pack a wallop out of a SxS.

Paper bulls were a little before my time (59-yrs old).

I've got two of those cases sitting in my garage, that I bought here from Texas 9 years ago. I hang onto them in the hope that one day find a place to hunt dove.

I didn't know they quit selling cases. When did that happen? I've got a case of 20's somewhere I bought about 14 years ago.

I've got a pile of paper shells that came out of a old house on some land my dad bought.

DOVES were so plentiful back then. 20 shooters on a GOOD Field the First of the Season......I've seen th' total tally at around 900 Birds many times. My BEST at age 20 was 114 and my Buddy beside me had 97. He was shooting an 1100 Remington and Me a Browning A5......1978.

Yes bought at a Western Auto.

Buckwheat, I bet your shoulder still doesn’t like you

I'm 58 and I remember shooting a blue million paper hull Winchester XX low brass. Some of those were reloads though.

That was a real case. Always bought 7.5 duck and pheasant loads. Used them on squirrels,rabbits,ducks,varmints .....

Can remember buying a paper sack 8 oz of WW 760 powder for $3.50 a sack. And 2 boxes of Remington .22 shorts for 29 c each. 32.5 grains under a 150 grain Speer flat point fired out of my 1977 vintage Win 94 started my journey into handloading.
