Destry, I have a pretty extensive collection of old paper shells. I shoot those that are not in full boxes. Some are very old and, so far, I have never had one shell that failed to fire. I love the old roll crimped shells and use them exclusively on wild pheasants. It just feels so right and I never fail to sniff the cases after I fire them. The smell from the paper shells is exquisit.
I have two boxes of Remington Shur Shot #4's that I'll send you. I normally don't dip into full boxes but you are an old friend, so you are welcome to them. I'll also send you some loose 16's of the appropriate shot size. Send me your mailing address and I'll get them out to you. |

You boys are too good to me, I really appreciate all the help. A local friend heard of my plight and handed me a box of #8 and 10 slugs just yesterday. Not exactly what I needed but I'll keep them in reserve for other game.

I get very nostalgic this time of year, and I suppose I'm not alone thinking about those first memories of Dad's vest full of old paper shells.
Whenever I get the chance, I pick up NOS NPEs and one of these days I'll be gone and they'll be going through my stuff wondering why I had so much 'antique' ammo, |

Destry, the box is in UPS's hands now. You should have it by early next week. Good shooting.

I still have a mixed box of "ounce balls" and other old black shells from my grandfather who died in 1929. Apparently, my dad never used them. I found them in the attic of my childhood home when I was about 11 years old and put them away for future research.
