Super X et al paper shell box pics

For the young whipper snippers on here that may not be familiar with these old time shells. Gorgeous paper shells.

The warning was on a little piece of paper inside.

How about these? Picked them up for $15 a box (full!) a couple years ago at a gun show. 200gr 308! As a young whipper snapper of only 30 Ive not see any that size available new.

Ah yes. Some great stuff to found at gun shows. I scored a 10 lb cardboard canister of Unique at a show for $50. Wonderful powder to feed my old rifles with light loads. I have a weakness for old ammo boxes, with ammo. I love old paper shotgun shells and old Dominion cartridges and boxes.

They are miniature works of art in my opinion and a whole field of specialised collecting on their own. And like you guys I'm always very happy when an unexpected treasure shows up and follows me home from a gunshow.
