They are federal champion target loads. i have a remington all american and winchester expert mark 5 also When i opened the box and that smell hit me it really took me back to the good ol days in farmers fields in Maricopa as a kid.. Funny how a smell can trigger memories. Heck i flashed back to the whiskey and carton of smokes we use to give him to get us on fields for the season 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Swivelhead Report post Posted January 15, 2016 Had a stash myself but made the decision to burn through them. Thinking some get "hotter" with age (kicked like a mule). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted January 15, 2016 Remember heck, I'm still shooting with them. Have recently showed some younger hunters paper shells that had never seen them before. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest akaspecials Report post Posted January 15, 2016 My first shot gun was a single shot 20 gauge and my grandpa insisted that the first box I shot through it was those dang paper shells. Every shell over expanded and wouldn't pop out of the gun without being pried! First and last time I shot paper shells! Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you and your buddy can have some fun burning through that ammo and remembering his paps! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
