You lucky rascal! You must have been nice this year!

What crimp, 6 or 8? The pic appears to be some "late" manufacture CF loads, and some of them had good 8-star crimps, similar to the CF low-base promo loads. If they have 8's, your even luckier, as the crimp is about the only thing that ever wears out on these hulls.

Enjoy.

Yep 8 star crimp on all 6 boxes! I am pretty happy! Plan on using a few this weekend at a local pheasant farm!

I have occasionally found a box here and there, but 6 boxes would be the mother lode.

I have been trying to get photo bucket to work for me for awhile, and I still don't know if I got it to work. My Christmas present to my self. I'll try and try again, but I think I only got a close up shot to copy.

It will take a lot of hunting to empty those hulls!

Yes, they are hunting loads, but at $5.00 a box almost everyone here would buy them. I've let my Nephew have one flat of #4s, he wants to try them on coyotes as they run them in pretty close cover with hounds. He is supposed to try and get the hulls for me.
Still a lot of hunting for me to empty those tho, I hope I live long enough. My nephew may get more of them.
So many shells so many shot guns to shoot.

I could empty them in a season or two. Just send them my way! It's a shame that someone doesn't still make a load like that. Comp. hull, reasonable velocity; and if I remember right, those used fairly hard shot too.
