Re: shotgun start

In reference to shotgun cartridges, .69 buck and ball were also utilized and would be correct. Dan also has the stamp for shotgun cartridges as well.

I don't think that Dan is gonna be rolling any rounds after this weekend - he'll be in Marine Corps OCS...

Re: shotgun start

Guys,
I have been experimenting with the labels. I found this label in EOG, Confederate and managed to clean it up a little. Hopefully it will come out okay. One is the original scan and the other one I darken the letters up to read a letter better. I am sure there are a few folks that are a little more computer savy and can make it better.

Re: shotgun start

Let me work on this one. I am hoping to post some stuff on pistol ammo, wrappings, and labels pretty soon.

Paul's wife, Cyndi, here.

I created the labels using MS Word using fonts as close to the originals as I could. I'm not happy with them, but they make Paul happy and that's what counts in my book! :D

Can you share?

Re: shotgun start

I worked these up some years back, I make up blanks, wrap em up in brown color paper, then print off the labels on recycled newsprint.

Folk are welcome to use as needed, or improve them as needed.
