Old Hevi 1 3/4 oz shells

[SgtUSMC]

Found 2 ten round boxes of the old 3.5 1 3/4 shells in 4 and 6 shot.   Was looking at picking up the 6's.   

Anybody like the old shells, or would buy them again if they had the chance?

Those #6 will rock if they are the old clear hull ones. They will do 200 in a 10 at 40yds.

I'm not sure about the hulls.  They were behind the counter, but I'll check out it out tomorrow morning.

I read wrong. I thought they where the 3". I see you put 3.5. They are probably a light green hull. They also shot real good for me.

I had a box of those ( Bronze hull ) in 6 shot and would get 130 plus at 40 yards in a 10 inch circle . I also had some green hull # 5's that was 3.5 inch  1 3/4 oz. I would get 100 or so in the 10 at 40 yards with those .

I've had great results with the 3.5" #6's bronze hull and wish I could find more

I've got 30 of the old 3" clear/white #6's locked up in my safe,

Does anybody know how to find out if they are in fact the 13cc shot or the 12?

[BandedSpur]

The only way I know is to weigh and test a sample of the shot with water displacement in a graduated cylinder. You sure can't ask EM and expect to get a straight answer.

[SgtUSMC]

I decided to pick them up after seeing the pattern posted above. 

Figure if I can get anywhere near that performance I'd be more than satisfied. 

Especially since after the rebate it came out to $12 for a box of 10.

[surehuntsalot]

nothing wrong with that deal

I got a box of 6s for trade in classifieds
