I saw the posting of the empty box of shells for sale and wondered what loaded shot shells might be worth?  I have a box with 18 loaded shells and two empty cases.  The two empty cases appear to never have been fired, but possibly taken apart or added as just primed cases.  The primers in the two empty cases have a stamped marking on them, the other 18 primers are blank.  The box also has the original wooden spacers included.  Thanks for looking.  RDB

Roger – 

I think these would fit in my Standard Arms Camp .50.  I could go bird hunting this fall!

Roger,

That’s a very nice box, and to have the wooden filler pieces is pretty much unheard of!

Thanks for sharing!

Steve,

I think you should send RDB, a PM, and make some sort of agreement, and then report back here with pictures of the Birds you took with the Ole’ Camp 50!

Very neat box!  The two cases with the “W” in a circle indicate they were loaded with smokeless powder.  The unmarked primers are black powder cartridges.

I have a near identical full box of 50-95 WCF Shot cartridges.

edit:  Forgot to mention, the loaded shells are worth approximately $75 per cartridge.
