I do like paper hulls when volume shooting but the brass hulls are really neat for a hunt where a box of shells is good for the day. Cleaning 50 or more brass hulls is a bit like work! I resized and annealed those hulls and they loaded nicely. I'll see if I get some spring back into them on the next firing. 50 papers are on the bench now and just need shot added and a roll crimp to be ready for boxing. The new primed 2.75 Cheddite papers are really good and cut down to 2.5 nicely. I ordered a good amount of both red and orange hulls to color code for shot size. Do not know how long these will be in the supply. Federal papers are great too but work best with a fold crimp. Wish Cheddite would make 16 ga. papers available to reloaders. The last few brass hulls that split were from base to mouth half to three quarter inch about mid body. These hulls have had a whole lot of use and gave good service before giving out so I'm not disappointed.
