Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 No there just are some old pharts that shoot trap that love papers, mostly for the smell. Like a lot of old pharts here there are fewer and fewer of them so the market is very small. Since Vista owns Federal and Remington speculation is they are just Federal papers dyed a different color.

Pat Riot Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I would buy a box just for the box. It’s cool too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Nostalgia niche obviously and one that may well pay; it's buy one or two for old times sake, maybe. My granddad used 'em. We of all shooters should get the nostalgia angle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxahachie Kid #17017 L Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I like paper shot-shells, to use in my Winchester 1887 lever-action shotgun, and my old Parker double-barrel. I trim it down to 2 1/2 inches, and load it up with wads, but I do not use any plastic shot-cup. I form/make my own paper shot-cups, if I use a shot-cup, that is. Loaded with black-powder, they will last a while, too...and of course they are easier for me to trim to the proper length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 I read an article months ago that paper shotgun shells are more expensive to make and it takes longer. Whatever they apply to the paper requires multiple coats and has to dry completely between coats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blarney Kid Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I use paper and brass hulls with my BP loads. I think they're more authentic for the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
