An Appeal to Friends and Neighbors....
I always shoot paper 16 gauge shells at squirrels, I killed my first squirrel with one and have continued that tradition all my life. I've had the best luck with these star crimp Winchesters, they never fail to go off or squib.
Was getting ready for the opener on Monday and went to get a box out of the ammo cabinet, had four full and a partial in there. Opened a fresh box and "What the hell?" damn reloads. Opened the other three full ones, same thing. I'd bought them out of an estate a couple years ago and guess I never looked close.
I managed to make it through two hunts on the partial box but this is all I've got left. It's going to pain me to break tradition and start shooting them with plastic.
Does anybody have any laying around they would sell? They're 1 1/8 ounce of #5 or #6, hell I'd even take #4. I'd also take Federal star crimp papers in the same loading. Loose shells or in boxes, doesn't matter to me.
