Been out in the woods the last few days, picked up:
Winchester New Rival 12ga (Probably the best condition head stamp I have. The letters are still very legible and sharp)
Federal Hi-Power 20ga (I think this might be my first 20ga)
Another 3-ring lead
An odd looking 2-ring lead
A musket ball or a large caliber lead from a casing
Remington-Peters 12ga with the markings still on the plastic shell (kinda cool)
and as for the interesting surprise, I found a WRA Co. WCF .30 shell a while back, and a few days later right around the same spot I found the actual lead that I believe went with it. I believe they started making these in 1895, though I don't know when they switched the head stamp, but I do believe this to be one of the original head stamp designs so if that's the case then I now have a complete bullet/cartridge set from 1895-? either way I think it's pretty sweet.
