I was looking for some hulls yesterday for a member and opened a box suprised to find these which I thought I would share.
They are brand new 20ga Winchester Western Hulls with the fiber base from the Cobourg Plant In Ontario if I recall correctly
I remember the old man buying like 5000 of them at the time and I thought they were all used or sold off
Maybe I am wrong but something like they were switching the plant over to the new style compression formed so I am guessing this would be like early 1971 since the plant opened in june 1970 and winchester first offered the compression formed in 1971 in the upland series
Wonder when the plant closed??? or stopped making ammo anyone remember
Cheers
