Bad Bascomb, SASS # 47,494 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Anyone know if papcharlie (Charley Tyler of Odessa, Florida) is still in business? He worked by email (no phone) and my last order was promptly filled. Tried twice for contact with no results. Figured there would be a "undeliverable" notification if they no longer existed. Failing positive results, any suggestions for sourcing STS green or gold once-fired hulls? Precision Reloading is rather expensive, and their shipping is REALLY expensive.... Any help greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I've not been able to contact Pap Charlie for a year or two now. I assume that means his hulls are no longer available. Start dropping by your local shotgun fields. Trap, skeet, sporting clays. Maybe even join one if they have "member purchases" of once fired hulls, reclaimed shot, bulk component purchases. Gun Broker has several sellers of once fired hulls. More expensive than Pap was, but better than nothing. Good luck, GJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cayuse Jack, SASS #19407 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I believe Papa Charlie passed away a couple years ago. His wife tried to run it for a while but no longer sells hulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Friend, SASS #53635 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I buy a case of STS a year and recycle those. At this point I probably have a lifetime supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totes Magoats Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I just bought 2500 on Gun broker. Have bought from there before. They are for sale often. I think I paid .08 a hull, shipped. Totes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Mountain Buzzard Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I've got some AA's that I've been going to list. Just haven't gotten around to it. I think the last go around, I had them for $45/ LFRB (USPS) shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 I have found that the ESTATE hulls , contrary to all criteria, load very nicely. I use them for both black and smokeless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
