Well, look what I uncovered!

Went searching through old boxes of components due to shortages being as they are. Stumbled on these…
Anyone use these in Muzzleloaders? From what I remember they are weaker than std 209’s. Funny thing is, I cannot even remember how they came to my posession. Lol

Wow - those appear to have some age on them!

I remember loading BP shotshells with them and shooting them in my old original TC Encore 209x50 mag. I know they were old then. Had a full brick at one time, I think a little over 300 left.

I fired many, many thousands of those back in the 70s. Price was $5.50 per thousand.

I believe I have at least a brick of those still stashed away. Haven't shot them, they were my father in laws from when he used to reload for trap. From what I've read they're quite a bit hotter than most 209's? Figured they would be good for Blackhorn.

I know these are from the "60's" when I was shooting trap. I just sold my MEC 600jr in a garage sale. That thing was so wore out I can't believe someone actually wanted it.
