Jager,
If you mean Bismuth Cartridge shells loaded into Winchester hulls, I agree. I had a case of them several years ago and had nothing but problems. The 10 gauge I have are loaded into Remington hulls and I've not had any troubles with them at all.

Joe,
I'm not a re-loader, I just shoot what I can buy. They do kick hard, but no harder than the lead loads I've fired out of it. Guns are for shooting, I was never one to be gentle.
