Default Pretty Cool Huh!
A friend of mine gave me this box of shells. He told me he bought them about 20 years ago and that they were promo loads that were offered for a limite time. I have never heard of this reintroduction. What do we know about them?

They were marketed in 1992. I used to have a sealed box and always wondered what was inside! I never imagined that they reproduced the actual cartridges! I assumed the two piece box was filled with contemporary ammunition.

Where's the warning "Do not use in guns with Damascus or Twist barrels."?
