Hello SSS,
I'm running out of my stash of 2 5/8" paper hull black powder Spencer Shotgun shells. Unfortunately, my original source, Metallic Cartridge of Maine, is no longer in business.
Does anyone know of a manufacturer of black powder shotgun shells that you can recommend? Any links or information would be appreciated. I already tried RST and POLYWAD, but they don't load with black powder.
I don't want to load my own. I don't shoot my Spencer Pump Shotgun enough to justify the cost of that loading equipment.
Thanks,
Two Flints
What do they look like?...
Sgt Chapman,
Here are two samples I have - one is paper hull, which I prefer and the other is clear plastic. Both were loaded with 3 drams of Shuetzen Black Powder, 1 1/8 ounces of lead shot, #7 1/2 shot in the paper hull shell and #6 shot in the plastic hull shell.

Would someone do a comparison of the above load as compared with this one:
70 gr ffg, 1 0z shot. Which one is the heavier/stronger load?
Thanks so much,
Two Flints
