I have 10 boxes of old Alcan Flite-Max boxes of wads. I have kept them all these years because of the great colors and I occasionally load a few of the wads with some AL-8 that came with them.

I would love to give them to any interested members here just for the shipping. Bear in mind that they are 5"x5"x11.5" so shipping would cost a little. They are all full to almost full of usable wads- maybe old school technology, but they work.

I have 3 boxes of #1, 5 boxes of #2, 1 box #5, & 1 box without a number but looking at the wad , it would be for a light load of shot. Boxes are all in decent shape for age. Colors are red, yellow, and blue on all the numbered boxes- red, white, and blue on the one with no number.

I have also posted some of the literature describing the wads with load data for Alcan powders.

Any takers?

Anyone want a box just to set on the shelf?

I used to pick those up on the trap range for my dad and we would re-use them. Couldn't afford to buy them for reloading and still shoot trap.

Someone needs to jump on this. It's a great offer. I have all of them so please, someone take them.

Will 1 of the #1and #2 both of these fit in a large flat rate box?
If so PM and we can make the necessary arrangements.

I'll go by the post office Monday and pick up a large flat rate box and see. Might be able to fold them flat and send the wads in bags. Haven't been out in 2 days since the ice storm.
