Peters 20 ga shotgun ammo?

[msmp5]

Anyone care to venture a guess as to the vintage of this shotgun ammo? I'm wondering if it's still safe to shoot. (Though I'm not sure what I'd use 20 ga buckshot for.)

I don't know how old it is, but I'd shoot it. #3 buckshot is a fine round. Feel free to send it my way!

I'd shoot it. If you don't want to let me know what you want for it?

If it was bird shot, I probably would. I don't really have a use that I can think of for 20 ga buck shot.

1970's possibly. I wouldn't be afraid to shoot it if it has been kept out of extreme temps and in a dry environment.

Hunting upland bids with a 20 ga SxS, I would carry a couple of buckshot loads in case of a curious coyote or a pack of feral wild dogs.

I'm guessing 70's also. Should be fine if it's been stored well. I have some paper hulls from the 50s and they've all gone bang so far.

Sounds like a good excuse to buy a new shotgun

20 gauge buckshot is a viable SD load.

I would think that the #3 buckshot would make a heck of a good home defense load from a 20 gauge

I’d agree on 1970s. I have a mostly full box of those myself and their 12 gauge counterparts.
