These were made: LCA22L507 - February 22, 1989 and AA08C506 - May 8, 1984. As long as there is no rust around the primers (showing excess moisture exposure - which the cases do not) there is nothing wrong with them. Nice doubles combo loads.

I thought we still had 20 box cases in 84'?

they were the benchmark shell at the time. they were Winchester aa's main competitor.
lot of people called them blue tragics......but I never had an issue with them reloading or not lasting.
matter of fact, they lasted longer than aa's at the time.

factory 1 oz 8's....nice skeet load.

I shot a box of Blue Magics and a box of Remington "Mohawk" that I bought from JC Penny for $1.99 this morning. All worked fine and broke targets. Well, the targets when I kept my head down.

I believe they are still available. Big 5 sporting goods stores sell them I see them at the local gun club.

Product of the mid 70's to mid 80's I always liked them but don't load them more than twice they were prone to the plastic separating from the brass and can lodge in the barrel after several reloads. They were called Blue Magic's

They're not the same shell. Have seen the ones you are talking about.

I shot the loose box of one once loads today @16-yards, smoked the targets and all sounded the same (normal).
EDIT:
I opened the 1-oz case and have been shooting them. They function as new, no issues.
Maybe I'll trade off the other case to someone that collects at my local club.

Thanks again for all the valuable information.

Maybe if I keep hangin around some hot blonde will take me home as a collectable.

Don't open that other one. Make me an offer! :3a:

These old shells should only be fired in an old gun, since my trap guns are 44 years old they qualify. So just send them off to me and I will dispose of them properly.

Remington introduced the 250 case in ShurShot in 1982 and in Peters Target Loads in 1983 (Fall of 1982 likely)

I shot a few boxes a while ago. They shoot well, smelled awful though.

Hi..I know it's 9 years later but I can get 7 boxes at £10 each

Are they good for clay shoots?
