There is a company called Federal that is the third largest ammunition manufacturer in the United States, and makes hundreds of thousands if not millions of paper shotshells yearly. While paper Feds are not carried by the big box stores, you can order a box, case or pallet from your local home owned sporting goods store. I have run thousands through a MEC reloader with a regular star crimp. The Feds use a soft brass that tends to expand and may stick in chambers.

Paper Feds are a well known favorite of clays shooters and known for soft shooting qualities.
