Peters Target Load 20 Gauge shotgun shells

[wood_b_sports]

I came across 2 full boxes of Peters Target Load 20-gauge shells in super condition from my grand pop. Just wondering if anyone would know what something like this would be worth? Thanks for any info.

$1,000,000

They aren't as old as you probably think so I'd guess somewhere around $10.00/box. I bought a case of 10 boxes of not Peters but 20ga target shells for $60.00 + shipping.

That box design looks real familiar.
My boxes were similar. Only it was in 12 ga. and it was called/usually referred to as, "Blue Magic" shells. Yup, the plastic cases were blue.

Yellow.....yeah, for quick ID as 20 ga.

To me.....there is no EXTRA value to them.

Aloha, Mark

I like your $1000. thinking lol

I have several boxes of 12 ga, in the same box. tagged at $3.95

Last time I bought some of those I think I paid $20 for four boxes. That was probably about 8 years ago. I still have some of them. I don't shoot a lot of clay pigeons with my 20 gauge pump. Mostly just grouse and gophers using game loads. They're probably worth more like $8 to$10 per box now, but that's just a guess.

Those are not old shells. Similar loads go for the mid-eight dollar range at Bi-Mart when in stock. Hit Sportsman's or other big box store and they are in the high nine to ten dollar range, and they will be in stock pretty much all the time.

Thanks for all your feed back.

sounds like you need to get a little 20 gauge then.

I think those shells were common in the late 80's - mid 90's
I shot a lot of Blue Magics......very reloadable hull.


In 12 ga, Blue Magics had a smaller head diameter than a Win AA
The Blue Magics were better for my Ithaca Model 37 when reloaded
AA's would expand and hang up after the first firing.

Similar target loads at Sportsman's Warehouse are $10 a box; this evening I bought two boxes of a comparable product.

Yeah, those look like the newer peters plastic shells. I just sold 2 boxes of the same stuff in 12ga for $8 each. You can probably do a barcode search on the googles and get an idea of what they sell for.

Just pointing out that the OP was last seen 28 SEPT. 2023.
Shells are probably long gone...or at least it is now a non-issue.
