In a package deal at an estate sale I bought a few hundred mostly high base paper shells (empty hulls). Winchester mark 5, Remington express extra long range, Federal. Canadian CIL. Both 2 ¾ and 3” hulls. The original shooter must have been a duck and goose hunter in the 50’s – 70’s.
I’m not sure what to do with all these empty paper hulls. Do they have any value to special groups ( SASS, reenactors, folks with old doubles that want to do vintage loading?? NOTE: these are empty hulls but can be reloaded.
Should I just toss them in the dumpster and stick with loading modern hulls?
The Remington hulls may use 57 size primers, making them more problematic.
