So, im finally expanding my scavaging to include hulls that aren't Remington for my use this winter when I'd rather be inside loading than outside shooting in the rain.
I'm having a little difficulty classifying some of the hulls im getting , in reference to the Lyman Shotshell Reloading handbook recipes.
Not many, but there are the hard ones :
1. Federal "Top Gun" - purple shell with paper basewad. 2.75" : would this be considered the generic " federal plastic with paper basewad " ? The one in the diagram shows high brass.........
2. Winchester Universal - This one looks closest to the "Winchester Polyformed Plastic with Plastic Baswed" although the basewad in the shell is white, not yellow per the diagram. 2.75"
3. Winchester Super X : This appears much as the winchester "universal" as listed above- are they in fact the same ? 2.75"
I'm not looking for a lot of use for these hulls- IE multiple firings in good condition....I'm just looking to load them for one use with either a slug or 12 30 cal pellets for the stash. Recipes I have, I just want to make sure I'm using the right ones !
