New Paper Shells

[Bruce P Bruner]

I succumbed for a couple of boxes for display. Just think, in a couple hundred years they’ll be worth a lot more.

I bought 10 boxes of the 1145fps. That's my reaction when anyone posts an ammo link these days...thanks Dave!

I think they should be fine in the one steel barreled 12 gauge Parker I have, though I was also thinking they would work well in an early A5 I have that I should shoot more.

This "New" item, offered under the Remington brand at Vista is for retail to consumer sales only. There still is not sufficient supply of raw materials to offer to the retail or distributor trade at this time. For the volume trap/skeet shooter, at $20 a box this will not garner much attention. 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.

Phil, Nice box, but a bit perplexing. The part that says 14 Grs. TARGET was Peters medium height brass shell for bulk smokeless powders. Their medium height brass shell for dense smokeless powder was the HIGH GUN. The Load No. 397x was for a TARGET 1 3/4-dram, 5/8-ounce load. Load No. 187x was for the HIGH GUN 14-grain, 5/8-ounce load.
