High price but factory 8 gauge shells are rare as hens teeth. This is why I am getting into reloading

I don't believe Gamebore is still loading eight gauge shells. This flat probably started life on the gun show circuit at the Chantilly, VA show a year or so ago. The fellow who had them also had a high condition Davenport single which I bought. I stalled on the purchase of the shells and someone else beat me to the punch. I believe the last Gamebore eights were a run of smokeless Bismuth for Marshall Field lV. They were probably loaded to feed his eight bore Purdeys. They are beautiful black Remington hulls with personalized boxes identifying them for use at one of the Field estates.
