Default Just for the ducks

Just got done loading a couple of boxes of paper hulls to start duck season with. Roll crimped the first, gonna greet the dawn and hopefully the ducks with old school paper! I shot plastic hull 1 oz. #5 bismuth @ 1250 most of last year and it was like shooting the shells of yesteryear. Seemed like more "drop dead" shots farther out and fewer swimming crips. But...I think the paper smells better coming out of the breech.

It absolutely does Keith! Paper shells just plain "smell right".

I too love paper hulls. Every time I smell a freshly fired one it brings back memories of duck hunting with my dad. Still miss him, it's been fifty-two years.
