Does anybody know of a book or data pertaining to the OLD stuff ? I have a lot of Remington wads with #'s like W22399 ( early 70's vintage)..or would Ebay be a better destination for this old stuff ? THANX !

Look on Ebay for an old Lyman shotgun manual if you have enough of the components to justify the manual cost.

That's probably your best bet. Or find some of the freebie reloading pamphlets from the era, if you can.
