I wanted to re open this older post, mainly due to interest, and re educated all of us here, as we’re constantly learning more through out the hobby, on these many Winchester related products.

I’ll post some 70-150 examples;

1-The first cartridge on the left is an actual WRACo, Thick Rim, Board Dummy, with the two mounting holes,(4 th. picture), and the wood rod inside. The copper tube insert, in the bullet tip, with the, “X”, on it, is the larger insert tube, as apparently there is two sizes, large and small size copper tube insert.

2-The second, being made from a plain WRACo shell,(thin rim), with no Head Stamp. The smaller, “X”, copper tube insert is evident on the tip of the bullet.

3 and 4, The next two are from the California Collectors Club Association, (CCCA), and stamped 1997. #3 w/plain bullet, #4  w/ “x” in tip of bullet.

5-Stamped, T.G.S. “The Gun Shop” stamped, .70-150 W, assuming the W is for Winchester.

6-WRACo shell done up very well, with the cancelled guage no., with a series of,”xxxxx”, and blackened out, as the 70-150 was added and also blackened.

7-Stamped M.M., for Murry McNichols, apparently from Mr. McNichols gun shop.

This is a reproduction 70-150,after market, mfg. by Gary Grinde, made on a lathe, as a plain, or no head stamp, with an interesting primer pocket. note the two ignition holes, and the protrusion, or extended pointed nipple, to help in detonation.
