Description
ONE CARTRIDGE NOT A BOX, THE BOX PICTURED IS FOR REFERENCE ONLY.
One Cartridge not a Box: 10 Gauge By Older Winchester of New Haven CT., USA, RIVAL Brand, using (then new) “BRASS” shotshells with “W.R.A. No. 10 RIVAL” head-Stamp, these were sold as primed empty shells, common for the time and cruelly loaded many years ago with black powder, lead shot and old newspaper. You are buying this as a display only, not to shoot and for the brass shell not the load.
A short story on shot-shells:Shot-Shells have been produced for over 2 centuries in many sizes, from 00 gauge to .360 gauge and also in millimeters sizes.For those not familiar with shot-shells the lower the gauge number the larger the size. A 20 gauge is smaller then a 16 gauge, a 16 gauge is smaller then a 12 gauge etc.A gauge is a unit of measurement in shotguns, determined by the number of lead balls the size of the gun’s bore (inside barrel diameter) that can be produced out of a pound of lead. A 20 gauge gun size has 20 balls per pound, a 12 gauge has 12 balls, hence the smaller the gauge number the large the bore or size of the shell
