Default Loaded Shells

Loaded paper shells were available in England by the 1870's, but brass cases and loading tools were the choice in the US until about 1880. Loaded and unloaded paper cases were available from the major loading companies with the customer's choice of load and powder. By 1900 loaded and branded shells were dominant,
The tapered chamber sealed the mouth of the paper shell.

Best, Austin
