Got lucky at a local auction last week. Bid on 16 boxes but won only 6. 8.50 a box in the end. Love paper 16 gauge and these will work nicely in my H&H and WR shotguns. Was really hoping to win all 16 though.

To find these in Alaska was a huge surprise. Glad that I was able to get some of them anyway. |

That's super cool. I really like paper hulls too. |

Very cool score. Does it say 15/16 oz? Love the smell of a paper shell. Keep fired Winchesters around just to get a whiff |

I had 2 tables at a gunshow a few years ago. I had 1 table set up with a display of old cartridges and antique reloading gear. A young late teens couple came up and was looking over the display. Suddenly the female picked up a loaded paper cartridge, looked at me and said "Fired paper shells have the best smell ever". I broke out into a huge grin, looked at her guy and said "you better marry this girl fast". They both broke out laughing and he said he'd think about it. I'll remember that until I die. |
