Have Rocky Mountain Cartridge or Stars and Stripes ammo make them for you. They will be brass and will last forever.

I've had two different friends search high and low for a maker and there just isn't one anymore. It's have brass shells turned out by one of the above or have a set of inserts made and shoot it as a sub-gauge.

Hello
I have a 14 ga Lefever that I shoot. I use brass made by Rocky Mountain. There good brass but there thick like paper cases.
I also use Greener 14 ga police. The body of the Greener fits fine but the rim is to thick and to big around. So I turned them down and they fit fine. I also opened the primer pockets up to hold a 209 primer. By doing this it didnt leave alot of meat inside the case for the primer and after a few shots the primer pocket started leaking.
As for old 14 ga. cases forget it. Ive got about 20 different ones. Brass, Paper, American and from overseas. I dont think they were standardized, as some wont fit and others fall in rim and all.
If you go the way of Rocky Mtn, he will have you make a chamber cast of your gun and then make them from the case you sent him.

I believe Winchester made some 14ga aluminum shells for the Model 59, which was originally designed as a 14ga gun (and there are a few out there in 14ga). However, not likely anyone would part with those shells. Pretty much collector's stuff.

Hello
The aluminum shells are not really 14 ga. They are very close to being 18ga. and there not hard to find as they were made in the 1960s. Ive seen full boxes of them for sale on ebay. Your right about them being made for the model 59 and there was at lease one model 21 chambered for them.
As for the real 14 ga a brass Win case will bring at least $20.
I went and measured the rims on the 14 ga. cases that I have and they run anywhere from .810 to .846. The ones that I had made for my Lefever are .820.

I searched high and low for 14 ga hulls when I was considering buying a particular drilling. I had no luck even with correspondence with Chedite in France. I spoke to Rocky Mountain several times and they advised me brass hulls need "perfect" chambers and double barrel guns are problematic as the brass shells fire form and might not fit in both chambers after they have been fired. I gave up after several months and passed on the drilling.
