Thanks for the wet heads up on the under "(water proofed)" Winchester 20 Ga. 3 Inch shells.
Miss Mary has some antique Fish Decoys, and from a good underwater blind I can see a new hunting opportunity with these shells.
Smoked the 3 Inch 21 Winchester barrels and they fit the early skeet gun with very little work, PLUS shot where they looked.
I do like the compression formed cases on the under "(water Proofed)" shells in the auction.

The current Cheddite primers are the same size as any American primer. I've been using them for years. I believe years ago, and maybe those made for across the pond, may be a little bigger. I could be wrong, but think they make two different size 209 primers, so their shells may take a bigger one and if you're using one of our size primers, they may fall out. Call BPI and ask if the primer pocket is any larger.

20s will get loose primer pockets. I just tossed a number of AA 20 hulls that I reloaded many times because of loose primer pockets, Win 209,s all mild loads too. 12 G I cull out when the crimps go bad. Never had a primer pocket issue with a 12

I'm sure some of the boxes in that water damaged case will look bad, but I'd bet every one of those compression formed shells are good.

Dave Quiet please. Those shells are wet, plus they are magnums. They will most likely ruin the shooters gun. Break his gunstock, cause injury to his shoulder. They will also cause him to start flinching when he tries to shoot after his bad experience with the MAGNUM SHELLS.
