RST Ltd. Shot shells for Ruger

Post by LIBERTY FOREVER »

I understand these were made for Ruger when they were rolling out the O/U. They used the shells for exhibition shooting and would give the potential customers the empty shell after they shot. Anyone who participated in one of these or has better history is welcome to add to my post.

I've been looking for those! I think I left em on your table last year in Ohio by accident. ;) Great score with the box.

Well, they are 12 gauge so wouldn't have been when Ruger rolled out the first O/U's.
The 12 gauge maybe?
Or maybe these were used at the big shotgun shoot they used to have in Ohio, or any of the Ruger sponsored shotgun shoots?
I also remember when Ruger/Tom Ruger sponsored a ladies shotgun team who used Trap shotguns.
Now that I look closer I see they also say "1998 All-Around" on them, which puts them in an era a couple years before the Trap shotgun, but well after the 20 and 12 Red Labels were introduced.
