Look at these little beauties I lucked into recently. 6 1/2 boxes of vintage 2 9/16" paper. Man they are gonna smell good. They are probably worth more to a collector but what the heck!

I was out this afternoon shooting my 12 ga. live bird gun with paper shells.
There is no smell like that!

I remember November mornings in the 1950's when I left the house from the kitchen door on my way to grade school, that wonderful smell in the early frosty air.

Sweet! I have about five boxes of 16 gauge paper shells. They were my dad's and I just can't bring myself to shoot them.

Buy some RST paper loads. Than you can enjoy the aroma and save the family airlooms. Kill two birds with one stone.

Good score. I'd shootem too! Every one of them, except the Mark v's; those things are too stout for my 16ga.

Just out of curiosity are those Canucks red (looks like it in that opened box)? I know there's lots of affection for purple 16's, but the paper shells I have are Winnys (red) and Remingtons (green); my dad shot mostly Remingtons and green will always be the proper color for 16 gauge shells to me!

I enjoy the rich and historical aroma of a spent paper hull. I hunt almost exclusively with RST paper shells.

The Canuck's are orange-ish red. I also got quite a few .410, some 2 7/8" 10 gauge, and a big ole 8 gauge.
