True but this one has three rings around the head. No current day ones have these rings. This shell was found on a hill top in Durham NC about 6 inches down.
 
Can you tell if there is plastic in the base of it, or is there paper? I don't know when Remington went from paper to plastic, but I'm sure that someone does.

I don't know exact dates, but most companies switched over to plastic in the 60's. I believe Remington was one of the earliest ones to make the change. Once plastic cases hit the market, they rapidly took over being a superior product in several respects.

I can tell from the photo that it is from a paper shell.
 
I was off the forums for a while. What happened to Turtlefoot? He use to be all over anything Headstamp related?
