12ga Copper shells

[STP22]

Just helped a fellow that bought a house and asked for help with reloading. Seems he paid the former owner for all his gear he left behind in the basement.
After sorting out a Lee 3-hole turret press, RCBS 505 scale, Lyman trimmer, and the dies he wanted, he gave me all the rest.

One of the odd things I found was a few dozen 12ga copper shotgun shells. I can`t identify the makers mark but thet are dated `92.

Searched the net to no avail. Who made these? Never have seen such a thing...

Regards,

Have you checked them with a magnet? They might be copper plated steel.

I think I remember seeing some Russian ammo some years back that was copper-plated steel 12 ga ammo.

I have some full Brass `12Ga shells that were in my nieghbors barn when he cleaned it out; kind of, there might be who knows what stil in there. ( He also found boxes of ammo and a 32 rimfire pisol that may have been in there 100 years.

the Brasss 12 Ga were WWI issue to USNAVY. They make them just so sailors could polish them.

Does it look like this (middle one)? If so, it's Russian buckshot from the 1990's. Someone gave me one years ago.

I knew I had one somewhere, just had to dig through about a hundred pounds of assorted ammo I've accumulated over the years. I really need to go through and get rid of a bunch one of these days.

I've got a tin of 25 of those DU brass 12 ga. rounds sitting here. Some day I'll either shoot them or sell them. I still haven't decided which.
