    Alcan Flite-Max boxes and wads

    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?

    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.

    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.

    You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing for them.

    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.
