I know that Rotweill, Selliet & Bellot, and Wolf all have see through shotshells...
I think they look kinda neat, but are there any American companies that make their stuff with clear plastic??

heh
 
I think that most, if not all, US manufacturers follow the color coding of Red (12 ga), Green (16 ga) and Yellow (20 ga) for safety reasons.

As a result, I doubt there are any clear US made shotshells.
 
I don't know about that color coding, all the Remington shells I've seen have been green.
 
Supposed to be[tm] Yellow means 20 bore and Purple means 16 ga.

Keeps folks from sticking wrong gauges where they'd fit into past chambers and then the correct being loaded behind it causing serious inury or death.

12 bore and .410 most likely any color. If'n the clear ones reload worth a flip Okay.

Folks used to laugh -once at my lavender Fiocchi 12 bores. Great Factory round, then I'd reload these just as I did the AA.

Just because the lavender hull " said" 1 1/8 oz of #8 don't mean mine were NOT copperplated, grex buffered, 00 buckshot...

"Wow, did you guys see what his loads did to that Nehi tin sign...knocked it plum off the fence and into the next county".

:evil:
 
Hey sm, about three weeks ago I picked up off the ground about 50 once fired lavender Fiocchi shells, I was in mind to put buck in them when I had the chance. I don't know if that's a good thing, do great minds think alike. :scrutiny:
 
kudu

Can't say I have ever been accused of having a "great mind".

"That boy about half nuts" - heard that a few times...still do.

Probably not a good idea to do anything like me...most folks stay a few steps away too..

I reloaded the Fiochhi shells using the exact recipe for AA hulls...err...the OLD real deal AA hulls. Data from Winchesters Reloading booklet -9th, 10th, 11th editions.

I used all Winchester components to reload, primers,shot, wads, powders...I even had Win Grex. Now I forget where I got the copperplated shot, had it in hard #5 shot all the way up to 000buck... :p

Oh...as per Brister, Isleng ...flour , grits, Malto-Meal [tm] and Farina makes a great buffer...

Probably a good thing they did not have see thru shells in my days of T&E...would have spoiled matters...given me away.

Who says you can't fell a duck with a 2.5" .410 shell marked #9 shot...

Remember what something is marked - ain't always what it is. :evil:
 
I bought several cases of AA when i was shooting sproting clays, all in that batch were a translucent grey, you could clearly see the shot powder and wad inthe hull. I still have a couple of cases
