Got lucky at a local auction last week. Bid on 16 boxes but won only 6. 8.50 a box in the end. Love paper 16 gauge and these will work nicely in my H&H and WR shotguns. Was really hoping to win all 16 though. I know that they are fine for my in proof British shotguns but was wondering if anyone knows what pressure they were loaded to.

Cool. Is the box CIP labeled?

Best,

Looks like fine pheasant fodder. They would be fun to use. Does Eley shotgun ammo smell as distinctive as their rimfire ammo when fired?

Question: I have quite a few Eley 3" twelve bore hulls from old Bismuth No-Tox rounds. What would be an equivalent US shell for reloading recipes?

Thanks.

Pre CIP. I would think from sometime in the early 1960's at an educated guess. Probably will have the old corrosive primers so clean well after use. If the primer is a darkish colour then 10 to 1 it will be the corrosive type. Cases can be reloaded but would require the old obsolete Eley 'Surefire' primer. I still have loads of them but you may struggle to find them. You will not be able to knock out the primer pocket. perfectly o.k. to use in 2 1/2" chambered nitro proof guns. Lagopus…..
