Nostalgic shotgun in nostalgic calibre . Shoot paper cases and black powder to really immerse yourself in the history

All good but where do you source 16g hulls. I'd like to get my 16g damascus double going again but my Eley hulls are long gone.

25 of those are all you will need
Best not to load BP and store them for ever anyway.
Get the correct engineers punch for wool felt wads and cards
It you use the brass hulls and BP you will never need to resize the cases once you've got them to fit the first time

Roll some up and go shoot
Much easier that sleeving to another gauge

I had a bad experience with leaving shotshells loaded with BP for a long period (read a few years). When I came to retrieve them from my dry storage all I had left was gooey messes. The hulls had disintegrated down to the bases. So, I lost all my 12g and 16g cases including my good Eley hulls for my 16g.
