Paper Shotshells

[JD48]

Anybody still use them? i do, still have a few boxes of 16-gauge Remington, Peters and some Western, not to sound corny, but there's nothing like the smell of a fired paper shotshell, on a cool, crisp, November morning

I have some kicking around. Probably never use them. They are all 12ga. I don’t carry anything bigger then a 28 these days

Understand, like keeping it old school, old guy, old gun 1936 Ithaca sxs, old shells, down side , they burn dirty, makes you appreciate the newer ones with clean burning powder

I wish I still had some. I fondly remember the Peters from my youth. I especially liked the boxes.  The only paper shells I have now are some Polish made ones. A box was given to me over 30 years ago by a friend. He bought them in NJ somewhere in the Mt Holly area. He called them “freedom fighter shells” because they were made in Poland during the Iron Curtain days when Poland was trying to break away from the Soviet control.

Cool shell, some of the boxes were a work of art, always liked the Peters, "Blue Magic", Have a bunch of empty boxes, you can find them on Ebay, or for a few bucks more you can find full or partial boxes on gun broker

Piney, Remington has Peters paper shells on their web site, bought a box a few months ago, 12 gauge 7 1/2 shot low brass, $19.99 a box

I have a box of old Peters 20 gauge bird shot on my desk as a display item.  They are nostalgic.  But I don't shoot them.

Peters boxes were always the best, almost a work of art
