I have a Winchester paper shell and I noticed the paper does feel pretty dry but it did roll crimp pretty good still.
I have seen some homemade paper shells that combusted when fired, the guy had used newspaper to make the tubes. The first 2/3s of the shell went down range with the shot column or burnt up.
