Years ago I bought a flat of 12 bore #6 from Westley Richards. At the time, my understanding was that they were actually Lyavale (sp?) cartridges, but they're not marked as such. Shells and boxes say Westley Richards.
At any rate, I'd completely forgotten about them until recently when I "found" almost the whole flat(minus 2 boxes) amidst the clutter of my corner of the cellar.
I remember buying gamebore 16 gauge shells in the late 80's and learning then about British 7's being the equivalent of
American 7 1/2's. Didn't know about the 6's though.
Does anyone know who indeed makes/made the shotgun ammo for Westley Richards?Would it be fair to assume those WR 6's are as Larry has described?
