Larry, those black Remington hulls do get crispy, but for recreational targets as long as they hold the shot in place I'm good. They get ugly, but I've gotten 5 to 10 loadings on many of them. A split or two is no problem. I just shake my head when I hear of someone tossing them after one case-mouth split. I've got large tub of the green Remingtons 16 gauge hulls I'm going to start on this winter.
DT, I'm with you. I don't pitch them after one use. I seldom use reloads when hunting anyhow. They're all for breaking targets, mostly non-competitive skeet. As far as that goes, the Herters (Cheddite) hulls aren't that great either.
It's a better world these days for 16ga reloaders--or at least it is when you can find the components you need. But other than a really good, reloadable hull, everything we need to reload 7/8 oz without filler is out there.
