Caliber	Description		$
9 m/m RF Long Shot		Fiocchi, boxes of 50. Have both black (earlier) or white (more recent) boxes but not all shot sizes. (Fiocchi has about doubled the price on these in the past year or so.)	35
9 m/m RF Long Shot		Winchester. Black powder, earliest box (lbl-dtd 10-19). SEALED. See Giles & Shuey p.243. Easy to find in red Smkls bxs but VERY difficult in black powder. The ctdgs inside will not be red, they'll be one of the seldom-seen blue (or green: one is blk pwdr, the other is Lesmok, but I forget which is which--sorry.)	425 sold
9 m/m RF Long Shot		Winchester, 2-pc SEALED bx full of the orig red paper-tubed shells for the M36 Win. In case you haven't noticed, these have been spiking up in price. One just like this sold on Auction Arms recently at $350+!	225
9 m/m RF Long Shot		Winchester, 2-pc box full of the orig red paper-tubed shells for the M36 Win. Exceptionally clean label--nicer than most sealed boxes--nearly perfect!	195 sold
.410		"3 dram" (error) box, the 1st box by Bismuth Cartridge Co. Only 1 case of 20 boxes ever made & 10 were shot up in field trials. Ever see a .410 2.5" load listing THREE drams of powder??	75
.410		Gambles. 1930s 1-pc bx w/ 3" shells. Last of an orig case according to the trusted chap I bought 'em from. (Pls ignore shrink-wrap seams on top/btm pics)	150 (reduced from 225)

12 Ga		Selby Loads. Not sealed but full of orig "Superior Grade Climax" shells. Nice, clean & bright in & out!	325
12 Ga		Winchester Super Trap. New from case but with edge repair (visible at right edge in scan). Back side nicer than front. Cheap.	125
12 Ga		Winchester Super Trap. New from case but with minor case scuffs; nicer than above.	160
12 Ga		Winchester Ranger. 1930s "Pointer" box, pre-"Div of Western Ctdg Co" callout. 2-5/8" shells. Clean, with great color & graphics and no shell protrusions on edges. Nice!	75 sold
12 Ga		Winchester "Black Diamond". 10-rd "premium" box of target loads. Even the shells are fancy: black tubes w/ silver print and bright nickel-plated heads. If there's anywhere you want to display individual shells, these are the ones!	25
12 Ga (Flechette load)		Western. The Viet Nam "Lancer" (flechette) loading. Have 2 only, each with a loose flechette for display with this seldom-seen military rd.	30
10 Ga 2-7/8"		Winchester. Black Pwdr blanks for the Winchester Cannon. Clean shells & solid bx, ca 1960s.	65
