Federal Gold Medal Paper?

[Mike Stahle]

Two thumbs up, I love these.

Federal Gold Medal Target - Paper, 12 Ga. 2¾"
T118-7 12ga. 2 3/4" 7.5 1 1/8oz. 1200 FPS

You guys are very right. The smell and the paper shell just seem
so right.

O and I still have 10 fingers and Damascus barrels that don't look
like swiss cheese.

That is essentially a 3 dram 1 1/8oz that tens of thousands of 12ga Parkers, fluid and damascus, were factory patterned with.

The MEC bushing #33 load Mr Cash mentioned above is what I reload the hulls with.

Mike, at what you paid for them, you got a great deal.

Data for a MEC reloader using a #33 and #34 powder bushing rescpectively.

Thanks Bruce,
These shells seem to be very well made as well. (please keep it up Federal )
Over the years I have seen some rather ugly looking factory crimps.
These are a breath of old school, paper shotshell fresh air. IMHO
