And those are impressive for what they can do.

Yep, the Carharts came off yesterday. (reply)

But, they haven't been put away yet. Usually around Independence Day but then only for the rest of the month....usually.

they are for a nail gun or a stud shooter. I bought 500 off e bay and they were sold for reloading but they have thick walls and seating a bullet makes bulges and just don't work. They need to be inside reamed.J.Michael

Most Minnesotans don't have their tux fit to go over Carharts.

I always wear a tux on my mouse hunts . nm (reply)

whilst wandering through a gun show. They do indeed have a large flash hole and some were loaded with wax bullets. The seller threw in a cardboard tube with a bunch more wax bullets. I have used them for informal mouse hunts. Haven't bagged one yet but it sure makes 'em squeal.

I never saw any in that box that I remember as being (reply)

copper and I couldn't read the end flap, hence the question. That's very interesting indeed! Thanks for sharing.

They're real. I sold several boxes of them on the internet a few years back. I got them from an estate sale. I'm not certain if they were intended for a specific application, but I have had several boxes of them.

From what I've been able to find... (reply)

They are for black powder or wax bullet loads. The .38S&W is a low pressure round, and some of the posts I found said they were OK for standard loading data, just a shorter case life than brass.

Would they have been used for blanks?

Hmmm, if they belong to the box they wouldn't be copper, (reply)

The end flap says:
38 S&W

I found an old box of these today. Empty, primed, .38 S&W full copper cases. Cool as a display piece, and I can't recall seeing copper cases ever.
