Default RST Paper Trap Shells

In my Ga. State Trap thread I neglected to give a shout out to RST. I bought several flats of their paper trap shells and have been using them for registered handicap targets. I have found them to be superior to anything else on the market. Easy on the shoulder, easy on the gun, pure Hell on the targets. They may be a bit pricey but for competition loads they are worth every penny.

During the state shoot, I picked up one handicap target at 60+ yards. Everyone congratulated me on an incredible shot. All I could think was I wanted to give Morris Baker a big kiss.

Do they smell as good as the old Federal paper target shells after firing? Nothing like that ammonia/nitro rush first thing in the morning after a quick warmup round from 21 yds!

Very close. Federal papers still smell good as well.

On a whim I bought 2 flats of Federal 1 oz paper shells. My son asked me what I wanted them for and I told him, just to smell them. He thinks I've gone crazy in my old age. Well, they did not disappoint. They smell wonderful and break targets well. Nothing like the smell of a freshly fired paper shell on a frosty November morning.

I love hunting with those Federal paper shells 3 - 1 1/8 - 7 1/2 , can't be beat if using a 12ga. I also use RST paper 2 1/2 " in both 12ga & 20ga Parker's.You can't beat that smell.

was it the paper or the powder that gave it that wonderful smell?
