Cool shotshells

[Richard Flanders]

Headstamp. 12bore. The small stamping reads "ICI". The fellow who previously owned these died in a plane wreck here at Nyac in 1982 so they date before that somewhere. He also had a very nice "Churchill shooting school" 12ga shotshell we found in 2009 in the pile of reloading supplies and ammo he left behind. I'm guessing he visited the London gunmakers at some point. He was a serious shooter who reloaded everything between .257Roberts to .38spec, 12ga up to .458mag and his motto on powder charges seems to have been something like, "whatever fits in the case".... I wouldn't shoot anything from the piles of handloaded ammo that he left here. What does P shot equate to?? These shells sure have the prettiest roll crimp I've ever seen. Designed for speed loading on the driven bird line I'd say.
