I may begin to dabble in reloading and have a bunch of 12 ga Armusa hulls. These are the red plastic `12 sporter loads. Wish they were still imported to the US, as I used to be able to get cases of low pressure loads at a very reasonable price. Bob

I think they are all Cheddites. I am accumulating bunches of them as I shoot up my supply of Armusa, and will reload them eventually.

Hello Bobc,

The Armusa I know is a Spanish company:

Yep, that's the one. We used to have an importer here in Houston who brought in the Spanish shells. He had a nice assortment of low pressure shells. Bob

I bought the 12 ga. "Sporters" from previously mentioned US importer and the hulls were plastic. Although they may be low pressure, they are not necessarily low recoil. I also am not impressed with patterns they produced and even opened up a few unfired shells and found the shot size very inconsistent. I think mine are #8's which should be a #7 US equivalent.

If the hulls have the 4 stars on the bottom of the brass, they are Cheddite, and can be reloaded using Cheddite data.
Or you can buy shells from this guy:
