I went out on this cold winter day and put my new paper shells to good use.

When I bought them, I was thinking that they would be perfect for an early A5 of mine made in 1904. The shells and gun worked perfectly today and I shot 4 boxes. Cycled the gun fine and while I don't shoot this gun often, I should...

Oh and these shells do have a great smell when fired!!!

I just ordered two more cases of these. I know they're pricey, but I just couldn't help myself...I had too much fun shooting on Friday.

I'll shoot a few through a Parker soon too...
