Default Paper shotshell hulls

It's all I bought when I was a kid. Don't know how many manufacturers are making them but at least Federal is. Federal’s New Gold Medal Grand Paper Shotgun Shells

Sellier-Bellot makes them too and this is the brand of paper I usually bought as a kid.

So now I'm wanting some paper hulls. Any stores in AB carrying them?

I just saw an ad that Rio is making a paper shell too.
I saw a few guys using the federal papers at a trap shoot recently, so they must be available in Alberta somewhere.

You can't beat the excitement a swollen paper hull gives you when birds are coming in and they won't go in the chamber.

LOL....I haven’t seen a paper shell in decades(1980s) and the few I’ve ever had were old then,from gramp’s basement,some of those (if not all?)were BP.

Calgary Shooting Centre carries the Federal paper hulled ammo. It isn't cheap though.

They’ll be less expensive to shoot once Turdo starts offering rebates on paper hulls to discourage buying single use plastic shells.
Shhhhhhhhh.....don’t tell the Libtards that plastic shells can be reloaded,they don’t have a clue about firearms they’ll never know,just keep yer mouth shut and cash the rebate cheques.😜
