Over the years, I have "accumulated" a number of paper shot shells. Do these have any collector value, or are they just shooters?

These are just loose shells.

Still reloadable if they haven't gotten wet......

As posted by John Boy if they were a full box in an extra nice box they would have collector interest. Singly, not so much. Last I looked Federal still makes paper hull shotgun shells. Gp

if they are some may what to fill box would be ok, the new type powder will burn the case,
to answer best to shoot, but be careful may have hang fire ,i would like to find 16 ga blue peters

Probably only valuable as shooters. No full box. About ten years ago, I started hunting again and here's a box of 12 guage #6 paper in my ammo can so it went dove hunting. No doubt from the 60s and every round fired and I killed a fair amount of doves for me despite the #6 shot/beagle

At the club people shoot the old stuff from time to time, I usually scrounge the old hulls / turn in ammo, cut them down, and make refrigerator magnets out of them. Yeah, kind of weird, but they are popular party favors.274720
