Bought 4 metal ammo cans from an elderly lady back in June. Started looking thru them and ran across these 16 gauge. Wonder what they would bring on e-bay ?



Also had 4 boxes of these in one

High brass!

Brings back some memories. I still have my Mossberg bolt action 16Ga. My first shotgun I bought for $35. That took a mountain of game when I was a kid. I should buy a box and shoot some trap with it for old times sake.

The 16ga shells did not come in that box, I'm thinkin'.

Says 16 gauge 25 shells in top pic BUT did notice the shells say 5 shot box says 6

box says 6 shot shells say 5 but nice find

Yea I also got 3 Mossberg bolt action with poly choke in the lot. 2 12 gauge and a 16. Sold them to my Dad at cost . He kept one and sold the other 2.

Got to go look see what the rest of the box contains. Also several boxes of pistol shells . 32 and plain unlabeled 38 wad cutters plain white box red letters on it.

That box with High brass if original should say " Heavy field load"

Still Nice

I have/use a few boxes of 16 like that. It runs about $16 a box for the Fiocchi Golden Pheasant which is very similar but nickle or copper plated lead.

Yea 5 high brass rest of the box are original field load (medium brass)

Nice find!! 16 guage is a cool round!! Sorry, can't sell ammo or even reloading components on ebay. Too scary for the Bay area cool kids!!

Any of you ole timers ever see the plain box of wad cutters?

They're probably worth more on gunbroker than ebay.

And from people that want to shoot them, more than collectors.

Nice Finds

My first shotgun was a Mossberg 16 ga. bolt! It originally had a Poly-Choke but my Dad cut it down to an 18" barrel and shortened the stock for me with a big rubber slip-on recoil pad. Piles of rabbits were taken with that gun! I shot it until I was getting powder burns on my forehead from the bolt being worn...gave it to my brother when I mowed enough lawns to buy a beater used Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 ga. with a 30 inch barrel and ventilated rib. Still have that one.

I remember my Dad telling me to duck into the marsh grass and run of anyone showed up because I was well under the required age for hunting.
