I have a small bunch of ribbed, green Remington shells that one of our friends on this board gave me. They seem to be good for a half-dozen loadings and make a nice looking shell,using Federal or Remington wads. However, these, and all the other Remington shells of the various incarnations are hard to seat the primers fully(MEC Grabber). IME, Federal cases are pure crap. I don't even try to use them. The AA HS, if Winchester has indeed, started making them longer as they said they would, will probably be my next favorite. That's if my stock of original AA compression formed shells don't outlast me.
