Charlie, those are indeed old paper shells, but I was using RSTs and the shells in the photos were used only as props. Every so often I do use some of my old shells. They sure smell like they did in my youth when fired. I can vividly remember the smell after a shot, almost always while squirrel hunting, when I was accompanying my Pop in coastal Virginia. 50-plus years ago, and I can still smell those paper shells. Thankfully, the bulldozers and for sale signs can't take those memories away.
