Canuck paper hulls

I was a little confused by this too so went and dug in my "Stash" of shotgun components. With my faulty memory and fast typing, I am an excellent example of why you shouldn't believe everything you read on internet forums.
My Canuck paper 12 ga. hulls are indeed made for standard size "209" primers, just "short" ones. My old Gevelot 16 ga. paper hulls are made for the "Remington size" smaller primers. The old CCI Shotshell primers I have are marked "Remington size" and "157" NOT 109. Sheesh. Sorry about that.

To funny nothing to be sorry about with a stash like that you have to be a old coot like Mac and myself.
 
A lot of Gevelot paper shotshells are a Berdan type primer, not a battery cup type.
I have a stash of primed 2 1/2 inch Gevelot paper 12 gauge.
