Haven't tried their trap shells. Have a couple of flats of their paper spreaders though that are great.

Maybe it’s just my imagination but the smell of RST paper shells when fired bring me back to the 50’s and 60’s.

I am pretty sure Huffing of paper shells is now illegal. Has to be in Mass, do they let you keep #9?

Apologies to our friends in Friendsville, PA, but to my sophisticated olfactories, the RST paper shells don't smell anywhere near as good as the Federal Premium Paper Target Loads.

I have a flat of the RST's "Best" paper Pigeon Loads, but haven't gotten an invite anywhere to use them.

Ah yes. Federal papers and Hoppes #9 (the old stuff). They say that the sense of smell can trigger vivid memories and those two fit the bill.

John, I've bought a couple of flats of them and like them. I've shot them in my Parker hammer gun, in which they are very comfortable to shoot as regards recoil. I've also shot them, less often, in a lighter British gun and they were still comfortable enough.

I love the RST Paper and reload them with a Roll Crimper and also reload the Fed Paper shells. Love them both!
