old/vintage 12g Shotgun Ammo.

Xotter143 · Jan 7, 2023

I am looking to buy old shotgun ammo, paper shell or brass. Not a collector and not really looking for mint boxes or anything like that. I shoot a lot of vintage and antique shotguns and find that the older paper style and brass shells pack less of a punch than modern shells and are just easier on the gun and my shoulder. Plus it just seems wrong to put modern shells through a shotgun that is 100 years old. Kinda like putting Formula One tires on a Model T.
If you have an old box or boxes of shells that you just don't need or want, maybe we can make a deal.

I have a bunch of old paper shot shells, what are they worth? I have a least 8 boxes?

Honestly the shells themselves aren't really worth much of anything. The boxes can sometimes be worth a few bucks to collectors, but even then it is a select few kinds of boxes that they look for. Pretty often I will find a box of old shells at an estate sale and usually pay maybe $5 a box or sometimes less. If you could message me some photos of what you have we can go from there.
