My friends who buy them and shoot them a LOT will swear they are softer shooting because of the paper compared to plastic. I think it might be more a mental thing, but that isn't always a bad thingWhat's the advantage of paper? The video subtitles mention 'performance' in the 1st few seconds. Is it better extraction?
Cool vid. I wasn't aware of all the curing steps.
Plus, they sound so much cooler when hitting the ground on a range.Nice short video how much process goes into making those lovely smelling paper shotshells
I believe RIO and some of the UK makers also offer paper ammoFiocchi still offers a paper hull too. I picked up a flat or two several years ago. Love loading the paper hulls for my double barrels.
Trash of ANY kind in pristine areas always ticks me offAnother benefit is as with the old steel beer/soda cans... These hulls will pass away as soon as the wax gives up its hold.
Then, nothing but the bases which amount to next to nothing in themselves.
Two things that I truly LOATHE seeing in the wild; aluminum cans and plastic shotgun shell hulls.

I agree with that.Trash of ANY kind in pristine areas always ticks me off
The wax on paper shells protects the chamber.
I have had Browning chambers turn red by the time I got home from the Trap club when shooting plastic.
Tries to help it form swelling/tearingIt's there to protect the paper.

Oddly, I don't even mind the occasional brass casing as they seem somewhat *elemental* to me but plastic trash and aluminum trash hold a special; *it ain't never gonna go away* place in the scheme.
