	My local gun shop received a large bag of copper, rimfire cartridges from an estate sale. They are in excellent condition but we can't figure out what they are. Most of them are copper cases but a few look to be brass cases. The copper cases are headstamped "H" and the brass cases are headstamped "U" (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	It most likely is 32rf Short, dimensions are almost a perfect match. Mike

	RoyB, You might be able to use that Stevens Favorite 32RF barrel if you grab that large bag of cartridges.

	Only kidding about the $10 price...... What do you think they are worth (price per cartridge)?

	I'm no cartridge collector, so don't really know. However, 32RFs are probably the most common of BP cartridges, & the bullets of these look pretty corroded, so I'd guess the value is not great. $10 may not be far off.
