Many of us are still shooting and reloading Federal papers. Nothing smells as good.

I reload them twice, could probably get a third, but I don't push it. Back in my youth, when I started reloading, the Federal paper hull was the hull of choice for reloading. The trap fields were littered with Western Xperts, Winchester Ranger, Remington Shut-Shot and Peters Victor hulls, but every Federal was scarfed up. Federal primer, 23 grains of Red Dot, a nitro card, two Felton Blue Streaks and 1 1/8 ounce of shot. The first step towards modernization was the PGS (Plastic Gas Seal) to replace the nitro card which allowed a powder cut to 18 grains of Red Dot.
I did start reloading in the pie-crimp era, never did a roll crimp.
