Flatwins- wasn't there like a 14 gauge once upon a time? i wanna say was some british thing they did on an enfield or martini action. I could be all wrong but i think i saw something like that once. Where is the 9mm shot shell also?

I need to get a picture of a box of .410 my father has. Its winchester ammo that he got from a friend of his that worked in one of winchesters ammo plants. Printed on the hulls is the fellows name and like 35 years (how ever long her worked there) instead of the shot load. REALLY NEAT!

yep.there is a 14 ga. there is also a 9mm shotshell used in small, lightweight shotguns. the game was developed in europe as an indoor game using very small clay targets. like i said, need to get off my duff and dig that stuff out!

I mainly like to find calibers I shoot. This one and another (lot rougher) was in some ammo I bought off a facebook group. 200 rounds of 41 mag for $40 :D

Very nice, guys. The box of .41 Mag is cool and I really like that box of .218 Bee!

Where do yall acquire this stuff. I like the vintage look, but have not seen much of it for sale.

I don't have much in the way of complete boxes but dlbleak (my brother) and I walked gun shows for probably 5 years and bought little more than individual cartridges of every chambering we could find. We've got some oddballs as well as an example of just about every modern round out there. It was a lot cheaper than buying guns! :D

On the complete box stuff, it's pretty much just being in the right place at the right time. Someone will often have some old ammo they will sell cheap or give away. If you have to pay collector's prices for the ammo, the fun goes away pretty quickly.
