For the casual shooter and someone who has a vintage shotgun, perhaps the price is worth it. Buyer's choice.

If they were Flyer loads meaning 1 1/4 ounces of #6’s going at 1300 plus I’d give them the $200 for a flat no problem . But a flat of these for pigeons would last me maybe a year .

These got a lot of attention over on trapshooters.com. Mostly negative because of the price. But as I noted over there, Vista is offering STS shells for $15/box and Nitro 27 at $17/box. If you’re going through a flat or more a week, it’s all pretty pricey.

Craig,

Federal ran some Paper Flyer loads in Copper 7.5's earlier in the year. 1330 fps if I remember correctly.

I got a case but haven't broken into them yet.

In for four boxes over here. Most likely to go on display with my vintage stuff.

I have blown money on lesser things so I splurged. After all its almost Christmas.
Shells arrived today. I like everything about them. 5 boxes will go to friends for Christmas.
I will keep a box and shoot the rest on some quail and dove hunts.

I think the box is attractively designed but one of the Peters Vintage Bobwhites in place of the clay would look even better.

these look like collector boxes to me a hit from the start....charlie

I bought 97 flats a couple of years ago from an estate. Averaged $4.30 per box. I don’t need these paper shells I wanted them.
That said I have been shooting RST shells for years. With shipping they are about $20 per box.
I went Mearns quail hunting 4 times this past week and only shot a box and a half of 20 gauge shells.
So about $30 to hunt 4 days.
I don’t shoot clay targets very often and won’t be shooting Eurasian dove in any large number with any of these paper loads, but the smell alone reminds me of when I was a kid and will be worth every penny.
I don’t drink $100 a bottle scotch very often but occasionally I splurge and enjoy it.

I wonder what the pressure is in the 1145 fps load ? Any ideas or info ? EDIT OUT: I looked and they are out of stock on several choices (one of them my choice)
