I assume they were not roll crimped ?

Correct

Morris told me that his ten gauge shells were loaded on PW loaders. What loader will he use for the eights?

I would assume he could get PW or a decent machinist to rework an LS-1000 for 8 gauge . I would also assume his 10 gauge loaders if PW are LS-1000’s as they’ll make one 2 7/8” for about $40 extra when bought new . I still wanna get an LS-1000 10 2 7/8” just have a difficult time justifying it .

wonder what the price of a box of 8 ga shells will be....charlie

[Milton C Starr]

How long has it been since a American company sold loaded 8 gauge ammunition ?
I will probably buy a box out of curiosity and in case I ever buy a 8 ga .

Charlie I am think pribably $2-$3 per shell in a 10rd box .
I wish they sold 10 gauge by the 25rd box .

[Craig Larter]

Charlie my guess would be $35.00 to $40.00 per box of 10. I do believe the RST 10ga shell rekindled interest in the 10ga. Four of my non-reloading friends have since purchased 10ga guns because ammo was available. My guess is RST 8's may do the same. When you think what 8's sell for the cost of ammo is inconsequential for many plus the fun factor shooting an 8.

I think your right about the shells if you can buy ammo for a given gun and its talked about enough like we talk about 10 and 8 ga s it creates new interest in these guns.... I for one really like talking and hearing about these big guns...charlie

Morris Baker brought some shot shells to Rock Mountain on Saturday, I believe he had some requests and decided to bring them over.

Different people were asking him about the 8 gauge shells they would be offering and he had 2 Zip lock bags with some 8 gauge shells in them.
One bag was a 1 1/2 oz load and the other was a 1 3/4 oz load and they are utilizing Winchester Industrial shells. He stated the 8 gauge shells would cost would be $5 dollars per shell

Have to thank Morris for offering these shells for sure, they will probably spark more 8 gauge interest.

I believe my Mec will be producing my 8 gauge shells,
