Gentlemen:
The Graf's truck stops at our club every other week and offloads goodies that club members order through our club account. They deliver to us (for a fee) because we are a big club (700+ members) and we are on the way to the Winchester facility in East Alton.
That said, since the deal on the double-gun bbs fell through and the listing for the Cheddite 16 ga paper hulls showed up on the Graf's website, I made a request for tomorrows order for a case of these hulls (2500 hulls).
I wonder if these hulls will ever make it to Mexico MO for delivery
I will keep you posted on the backorder.... |

I have! But it's been a long, long, long time ago. And, I'm not really sure what I had for breakfast today
Where do you get the data for 16ga. paper shells anyways?

Hi Matt:
Excellent question
I'm not sure if any "data" exists for these hulls. Since they are Cheddite, they may have a similar capacity to the Cheddite plastic hulls - hmmmmm....
I am old enough to have helped both my Dad and my Grandfather reload a lot of paper shells. I still have a "First Complete Edition" Lyman Shotshell Handbook that has loads for paper hulls in it - includes paper "Canucks"
what say you gentlemen |

In Mike Graf's announcement, I believe he said the paper hulls were on the production schedule for summer '07. I wouldn't look for them to be available til Sept at the earliest.
