shotgun shells
A shotgun shell, shotshell or simply shell is a type of rimmed, cylindrical (straight-walled) cartridges used specifically by shotguns, and is typically loaded with numerous small, pellet-like spherical sub-projectiles called shots, fired through a smoothbore barrel with a tapered constriction at the muzzle to regulate the extent of scattering. A shell can sometimes also contain only a single large solid projectile known as a slug, fired usually through a rifled slug barrel. The shell casing usually consist of a paper or plastic tube mounted on a brass base holding a primer, and the shots are typically contained by a wadding/sabot inside the case. The caliber of the shotshell is known as its gauge.
The projectiles are traditionally made of lead, but other metals such as steel, tungsten and bismuth are also used due to restrictions on lead, and other unusual projectiles such as saboted flechettes, rubber balls, rock salt and magnesium shards also exist. Slug shells can also be made with specialty non-lethal projectiles such as rubber and bean bag rounds.
Shotguns have an effective range of about 35 m (38 yd) with buckshot, 45 m (49 yd) with birdshot, 100 m (110 yd) with slugs, and well over 150 m (160 yd) with saboted slugs in rifled barrels.Other rounds include:
Ferret rounds: rounds designed to penetrate a thin barrier (e.g. a car door) and release a gas payload.
Bolo rounds: two large lead balls attached by a wire.
Piranha rounds: shells full of sharp tacks.
Dragon's breath rounds: shells full of incendiary chemicals that creates a fireball/flame when discharged, and can ignite a flammable target at close range.Most shotgun shells are designed to be fired from a smoothbore barrel, but dedicated shotguns with rifled barrels are limited to lead slugs or sabot slugs as "shot" would be spread too wide by the rifling. A rifled barrel will increase the accuracy of sabot slugs, but makes it unsuitable for firing shot, as it imparts a spin to the shot cup, causing the shot cluster to disperse. A rifled slug uses rifling on the slug itself so it can be used in a smoothbore shotgun.
For sale are the pictured shotgun shells chambered in 410. All the boxes are full except the Herters 000 buckshot which only has 19 shells in it.
I'm asking $175 for the lot. Prefer to meet in Centralia/Chehalis, but I could meet in Tumwater Saturday morning.
I have edited this ad after someone asked a question. I went through the boxes to verify the contents.

If you have a .410 shotgun (or handgun) and have looked for .410 bore shotgun shells, you know they are near impossible to find. When found, they are usually 2-1/2 inch shells, which is fine for most handgun applications. If you're looking for 3 inch shells, good luck.
Lately I decided to...
I came across 2 full boxes of Peters Target Load 20-gauge shells in super condition from my grand pop. Just wondering if anyone would know what something like this would be worth? Thanks for any info.
Dad's old shotgun shells that he collected over the years.
The oldest one dates back to 1901. Then one 10 gauge shell. Then a few in the 1910 range
and then a lot up to about 1950. There are more than in the picture
but they are mostly duplicates.
Sell or trade. Consider any reasonable offer.
Still cleaning out Dad's stuff from my Brother's estate.
These are part of his Antique Shotgun Shell collection.
Shells date from 1900 thru early 1950's.
Consider trading them for something of interest.
