There are some brands and loads of vintage paper shells that won't bring any more than new loads on the auctions. A lot of full boxes sell for less than a new box of premium ammo. I shoot those. I collect, and save, the rare and unusual ones, mostly full boxes. SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.

He opened it and salvaged the powder contained therein. It was several feet deep so should have been kept cool. It was greyish in color. He loaded a flintlock with it and fired it, but it seemed weak. Doesn't prove anything, but interesting nonetheless. SRH May God bless America and those who defend her.
