I started collecting full boxes of Vintage Shotgun shells about 25 years ago. Mostly paper shells along with some of the first plastic shells to hit the market. The Red paper Western Shells are my favorite as that was what my late Daddy shot Dove and Quail hunting in the early 60's.....and ohhhhhhh the smell of a spent shell!! Got mostly Remington,Peters,Winchester,Western and a few Fiocchi. The boxes were so Colorful back then....especially the Mallard Duck on the Peters Box. Got them placed in a wooden gun cabinet I fitted with glass shelves. Anybody else collect them?

I don’t collect, but a few years ago I found some old 300win ammo at a yard sale. I bought it because I thought it was cool. I had no plan to shoot it, but curiosity got the better of me. It was by far the most accurate ammo I’ve shot out of my 300. Killed my biggest deer with it too, if I recall. I’ve got the box around somewhere.

I don’t really collect, but have a few old boxes

Ive got a few old boxes of 00buck from 70's that came from the TG&Y in Hueytown

Remember shooting a few old paper 410s.
Grey brown colored winchesters i believe.

I have some boxes of 8x56r from WWII with Nazi markings on them for my Steyr Mannlicher M1895 Cavalry Carbine. i haven't shot any of them.

I have shot some of those. THey will get you attention!

Yep... My understanding is that they re loaded pretty hot.

I have a box of 30 06 150gr. silvertips, price tag says $6.15 from Biggs in Pensacola. A box of 150 GR. 308 core locks for $11.15. I have a few rounds short 38s for an old an old Colt. Tracer rounds for a 30-06, A German shell from WW2 with a wood bullet.

I collected for a few years. Most of it is up for sale on here now.

Good to see the old ammo is still around.

Got a few. Need to do a little dusting.

Ive got a few old boxes. Some of the boxes are in bad shape, but still pretty neat to look at. I need to make a display for them.

Anyone ever seen any .30-06 shells with 110s?




Wonder if the .25-35 was used for deer?

Good ol' TG&Y. At the one in Montgomery, we kids use to say was for Turtles Girdles and Yo-Yo's.

Read that the .25-35 was used a lot for Turkey hunting back when rifles were legal. Also an early Varmit round. Not a very fast round though....was usually used in lever action rifles.

I got those from my lady friend and 3-4 more full boxes. A couple of those were newer white box Winchesters. That makes me think her dad, who has really bad dementia, maybe has a rifle chambered in that, but she hasn’t found it. He had guns squirreled away all over the place, so maybe it’ll turn up. Found a few loose .45-70 and .22 Hornet shells too, really hope those show up. Chances are, they all walked with some of his former employees that really took advantage of his situation.

Everything was beautiful and made better back in the day. That's why I only use antique furniture.

Here’s a couple more.

Buckwheat, if I send you a pic or two of my collection in an email, can you post it here? A lot of members will have some fond memories of some of my collection. I have given up on the posting of pics process! I can send you my email in a pm if you can.
