    Who makes the Draper style, percussion cap, brass shot shells?

    So the Draper company came up with these shotgun shells in 1864, the back unscrewed and you used a cap on the nipple, screwed the back on and then loaded it.

    A few years back a company was making them again, I should have picked up a few. I like the novelty, that's good enough reason.

    But now I can't find them online, so I'm hoping some of y'all know where I can pick up something similar.

    Thanks!

    Either host pics elsewhere. Or resize to 1/4 of original size. Even most cell phones are in the 8 megapixel or higher range. So they are at least 4 times to big to be uploaded and viewed here.

    I use a simple software called "Irfanview" google it, free download.

    Open it, load an image, click image, resize/resample. Original was 4608x 3456.
    Choose the 640x480 image size off the right hand side, and save to someplace you can find it. Upload that file. It will work.
    I truly believe we need to get back to basics.

    Get right with the Lord.
    Get back to the land.
    Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.


    May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
    and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
    praise glorious!

    https://forum.cartridgecollectors.or...t-shells/12823 here is a post from another forum with details and photos of the originals.

    I've been searching and cant seem to find out the company that was making these reproductions.
