Yep that is what it is. Paper hulls with lead shot
Makes sense . NOT OH boy
They were junk 60 years ago and poison to reload
theses are not even roll crimpedStateside
5.00 a box more than STS and 10 bucks a box more that gun club in 12ga
19.99 a box US
Looks like we've gone full circle. I clearly remember how shotgunners rejoiced, when plastic shotshells came on the scene, in the early 1960's. No more worries about damp shotshells swelling to the point where extraction was nearly impossible. Then, shotgunners sometimes had to resort to driving them out with a stick from the muzzle end. Not a reassuring task, with live rounds.
If memory serves, Remington was among the first, if not first to introduce plastic shotshell hulls. That was in 1960. Now here we are, better than half a century later, back where we came from. I suspect these "new and improved" shotshells will be non-reloadable, too. Unless that pie crimp is cut off and the shell roll crimped, like before. If possible.
I can't see these things gaining any widespread acceptance among sport shooters.

ps: Though paper hulls can be pie crimped...in my experience the crimps don't hold well after the first firing. Usually not lasting past one or two reloads, at most.

I load once fired Federal Gold Medal paper hulls that a friend saves for me, I have no need to buy factory papers at that price .

I read that Vista(Federal) after purchasing Remington's two ammunition plants was reintroducing the Peters line of target ammo but I assumed it would be the Peter's Blue Magic shotshells with the nice blue coloured plastic hull similar to a AA? I was out and about this morning and came across a couple of 100 rd packs of Challenger target loads for $37/pack so I scooped them before they were gone. It's getting tough to find target loads out west for under $92/flat before tax these days.
All kinds of challenger here in 12ga target like 100 flats of each size in stock and 84.99 a flat bot people also don't shoot the numbers any more like you guys do down east. The days of 25,000 a year are long gone now 5000 is a big shooter and that would be just 410 years ago when I shot seriously
