A bit over 3 years ago, I had a garage sale before we moved to Minnesota. I had a bunch of ammo for sale cheap. Today, I'm glad most of it didn't sell!

went through some older stuff this summer 30-40 year old shells they all fired just fine.

Too bad the 12 ga are lead. That's what I like about them for what I'll use them for.

Only thing better than lead would be copper plated lead. I love copper plated lead BB for predators, second choice is #4 buck in copper plated lead when BB can't be found. x2- That stuff should still be made somewhere but I guess not b/c I cannot find it.
Savell- I'd still shoot that (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman)!

I don't think #2 lead is even available since steel became mandatory ... I think you're right on that. I'd sure like to find some in .20ga! They used to make it when I was in high school, Remington Nitro Mag. maybe other brands too.

ADC, I got a box of those Monarcs that you have there. Mine I bought in the early '50 for 34 cents BUT one out of every three or four would not fire so I quit using them. When I came home from service 1980 I found that box, still of course some did not fire, I gave them to a friend who collects shell. Just wondering if you tried to shoot them and if they all worked......jk
