I've seen the post on rolling your own paper cartridges...but does any company sell them pre made anymore? If not, why?

I don't think I've heard of a company that sells them prerolled, but that doesn't meant there aren't any folks out there that do it in bulk, that sell to the public, sorta in a cottage industry way.

Why..., CASH!

A very limited customer base, and most of that knows how to roll their own, so there's no money in it from a mass production point of view. Same reason why there are several brands, and just about every color & flavor in 12 gauge, but us 16-bore shooters have to scrounge to find ammo, let alone the right ammo for the game. Small customer base, small reason to mass produce.

Regimental Quartermaster and fall creek, both online, sell paper ladies for pre loading for reenactors and they will hold a 50 cal ball. Dixie gunworks sells plastic versions for several calibers, including .75 and .58. bring your own powder and ball though.

Federal still have one (maybe two, but I am not sure) paper shotshell line. They are smokless, but after that, your're in business.
