Are the Winchester ones you've got the clear plastics or old paper? The clear plastic ones are the dogs dangles, best 8 gauge hulls I've ever seen.

The clear plastic Winchesters are good, they take a roll crimp well......they do spit a basewad every now and then though.
Best,

The Winchesters that I peel are papers, not quite modern, but industrial shells, not original shotshells. First I deprime the shell. I then use a machinist's saw to make a small diagonal cut at the top edge of the second layer. This cut allows a little point of brass to protrude. Do not cut into the main base of the shell. I grip this protruding point with a needle nose pliers and roll it onto the pliers until it is ripped to the rim area. Then everything falls away and you are left with a shell that will fit in a shotgun and takes a 209 size primer. I don't know whether the more recent empties are two layer or not.

Eightbore, thanks for the tip. I will have a try at that. The Winchester empties that I have are all the clear plastic ones with a red stick on paper lable. I have hundreds of them but for some reason they do not fit the gun after going through the sizer but the Remingtons fit perfectly. Lagopus.....

Do your clear plastic Winchesters have the separate extra layer of brass?

Do you find the clear plastic and the paper casings better to use than the Remington Industrial black?

The clear plastics are definitely better, I've heard of guys having the base wads break loose in the black Remingtons.
I've never seen any clear Winchesters with a double layer of brass. Your's must be older, that's interesting.
All the ones I have and have seen are a single piece brass where the extra metal is just raised a bit. They resize much easier than the Remingtons according to Armbrust.

Looking at them it may be that they are raised brass after all as I couldn't get anything to separate. Can't figure out why they won't fit when passed through the sizer but the Remingtons will. Lagopus.....
