How old are these shotgun shells?

[30-30]

I found this box of shells in an old R.V. that Dad recently bought. The R.V. hadn't been touched in at least twelve years, and I'm wondering how old these shells are.

$5.79 is written on top of the box.

Any reason not to shoot them?

Thanks.

Are they paper.

[Johnny Dangerr]

Shoot them...

[BTLowry]

I would bet they are not real old and probably safe to shoot

Box says 25 plastic shotgun shells

Those look pretty recent to me - Peters still uses that box and 5.79 isnt much more than they are now.

Lead prices went up dramatically in 2008...$5.79 for a target load was pretty steep before that...those look fairly new and I wouldnt be afraid to shoot them.

Those are relatively new shells in a "retro" box. Shoot em.

i'm guessing mid to late 60's .... the hulls are are plastic , earlier shells were wrapped in paper


those shells were loaded by Remington as they owned Peters

DuPont owned Remington which is why they have a DuPont label on side of box

the headstamp should say R-P

hope this helps

ps - see if the inside of box flaps have a date stamp with month and year

if that was the price they cant be that old

[Eric Pence]

Just sell them to me and I will test them name ur price (reasonable) I just want the box really

[Mayhem]

take them to pawn stars they could be antique..

I would say late 1800's

Those are from the mid to late 80's i've shot them they are blue plastic kinda like a Winchester AA

Yep, blue plastic. Safe to shoot? Or are they worth something?

[JWHunt]

Should be safe to shoot...
