Not HUGELY valuable...about $2 apiece. There is an art to loading all brass shells. One needs poly fiber wads, and seperator cards, blah, blah, blah! There was an article last year in Handloader magazine that covered the process in 2 parts. I would highly reccomend you get those backissues as they were, in my memory, extreemly comprehensive in terms of methodology. 0 -
No not a lot of value and a pain to load. Use water glass to seal the top card (what a pain) but It is a riot to shoot a round of Sporting clays out of a Darne with them and watch people try to figure out what the heck your doing with all that metallic clinking going on.
Old western scrounger used to carry them and they are available in all gauges I can think of0 -
If you wish to sell them, You could list them on the GB Auction side or on another site, such as fleabay to see what you get for them.
Cowboy Action Shooting (CAS) people use these, because they are more or less period-correct and are cool to carry around in their shell belts and to shoot.0 -
Better check and determine if they require #57 primers. Most brass hulls require special wads. 0 -
When I was reloading for Taurus's miserable Judge, I went the glue gun route to secure the overshot wads in the AA hulls I was using. It does away from that ridiculous water glass stuff, that some folks recommend. Easy as pie and never had a problems with any shot getting loose, or overpressure indications. Because of the internal flange machined in the Taurus's cylinders, it's very apparent if your .410 load is too hot, i.e. you can't extract the fired shells. 0
