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

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
