I always had very good results loading 12 ga. ACTIV hulls. They seemed to interchange with the old style AAs without much adjustment. I haven't tried to reload any with Cheddite primers. I use a lot of Cheddites now but in those days I used WW 209s exclusively. Though I use MEC presses now, in those days I was loading on a Texan single stage.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
