Western Expert Paper Hulls
At the gun club today fellow gave me a bushel of 12 G Western Paper hulls. Look to be once fired. Red, Marked “Western Expert” 3-1 1/8-9 “Super Target. Also a big box of fiber and card wads. Lot of old primers too, which I don’t plan to use.
Loaded up a box for my Parker Lifter, half 2 ½ Drams 2 F Black 1 oz 7 ½. Other half 3 Drams 2 F 1 1/8 oz. Card wad over the powder one fiber wad under the shot. They load and fold crimp nice . Don’t seem to need a over shot wad. Going to try both loads out this weekend, see what works the best.
Anything I need to know about paper hulls for black powder ? can they be re-used or should I use them once and toss. My plan is to give the Black Powder 5 stand a try at the Fall Southern. Had planned to load plastic hulls until the paper came my way. All advise appreciated.
