First of all I'm new to shotshell reloading, but I recently lucked into a BUNCH of Remington 12ga hulls. Mostly STS and Sport Loads, but also quite a few Nitro Gold, Premier, ShurShot, Gun Club, and the black hulls. I would guesstimate around 2000 to 3000 overall.
My first question is, which of these are interchangeable? In my Lyman (5th Edition) load book it only lists "Remington Plastic Hunting Cases" and "STS". I have been told that "ALL" Remington and even Win AA are interchangeable.
Second, which of these are the most durable? What should I be looking for in terms of hull failures? I am loading light 7/8 oz loads but from what I have read/heard, the crimping is really what stresses the hulls not really the load. Is this true?
