At a Local gunshow this weekend,I saw something that was new to me and I'm seeking information. What I saw was a box marked "Whitney Cartridge Company-Cortez Colorado. There were twenty-five twelve gauge shells in it that had a detachable body that held the primer and screwed into the head.The crimp was a standred six point,the body of the shell was orange as was the box. These came out of Florida some years ago and I was told that there had been a considerable supply which ended in the trash can.The base itself was also plastic with a gun metal color.
Is this familiar to anyone? Please think back some twenty or thirty years as I was told that was the approximately when they were made.
Best Regards
