How did I miss this thread?
Junk the Federal hulls. Load the Gun Clubs and AA's. As George P and others have said, find load data from the powder manufacturers for the hulls you have, the wads and primers you want to use (Or can find in the case of primers.......keep in mind George P's advice on not loading European primers in Remington or Winchester hulls because of the differences in size.) the shot load you want, and don't deviate from them.
Yes, and there's a reason for that. They leave a lot of plastic in some barrels. I bought one bag, then a bottle of Slip 2000 Choke cleaner to get the plastic out of my barrel and choke tubes. Never again. I prefer Downrange wads, and will use Winchester if I can't get Downrange wads.
I used Rem, Nitro Sporting Clays shells for game farm pheasants, dropped them like rocks. It's the hottest load I dare use in my 1100 Competition Synthetic.
This year, it will be 7/8 oz. 5's in a 16 ga SxS, or Fed. Hi Brass (really steel based, BTW) 5's in the Model 12.
