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 Those are Mnman's.

A number of years ago my dad and I used to purchase ammo from a store that was older than dirt. It was called Mill End. The ammo prices were always low.
And they had great deals on hunting clothes, gloves and winter boots. Hip and chest waders. There were 3 stores close enough that it was worth the trip. Clare, Gladwin and Bay City ( the larger 2 story). All gone.

Think we had Gibson until about 81-82 or so then changed to Pamida. That sound close ADC? Had a Gibson's in my home town growing up. Bought 3 guns from there during my school years (well actually....my mommy bought them for me as I was too young). RG .22 pistol. Peacemaker style pistol, $35. Ruger 10/22 standard carbine. They had walnut stocks then, $50.50. Remington 870 Wingmaster. 12 guage 30 inch full choke plain barrel, $129. Only one I still own is the RG. It has killed a pile of fur. Those were all bought while I was a freshman in high school. I graduated in '77.

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. Had a box of Peters 20 ga. nice blue box with a mallard on the front only 20 ga. #2's i ever seen that was in 68

I believe Federal still loads 3” magnum 1 7/8 oz of copper plated 2s and other shot sizes for 12 gauge, however availability is likely limited. Unfortunately...

I really enjoyed your boxesTrapper7. I too collect the vintage boxes. Do you go to the cartridge show in St. Louis? It was cancelled last year due to covid but is scheduled April 1-3 2021 at the Renaissance hotel near the St. Louis Airport. It is like a gun show but only cartridges, boxes, and advertising. There is amazing stuff there every year. I know it would be a long drive, but we get people from all over the states plus UK, Australia, NZ, Germany, Canada, and probably others I am unaware of attending.

My favorite thread on Tman in a long time. I will post some pics of my collection tomorrow.
