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.

[Richard Flanders]

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

[Phil Yearout]

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.

[Brian Hornacek]

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.

I came across a few of these a couple years ago in 12ga. I think of shooting these shells as a boon to collectors by reducing supply and increasing the value of those held. (at least that's my jaded logic). They do smell good after being shot - took me back to childhood. Here are some 2014 pheasants taken with 1950's ammo put through a 1906 DHE at -30C. All as it should be. Cheers, Jack
