have discovered a type of shotshell reloading box that may have been used by market hunters in the usa back in that day. erskine and bridgeport used as a search will show a few pictures of box type shotshell loading boxes using this site forum search. a google search will show some of these box also. has anyone here ever attempted or made one of the erskine type loading boxes or know of plans for building a erskine type loading box? pictures on this site show loading boxes made to do 25, 49, and 100 shell per box. would be interested IF anyone reading this entry has ever built one of these shot shell loading boxes -- would like to hear your experience.

I tried to sell and then give away an Erskine 100 round box about 6 months ago. No one wanted it, so unfortunately it went to the dump.

I wrote an article on them (and some of his pinfire guns) which has my copy of the patent scanned in which may be a little helpful for you?
