Son is preping to try out for the HS skeet team next year, so I'm preping to be able to support this venture. I'm planning on doing as much reloading as possible, and I've been reading up on shotgun reloading. 20 guage, if it matters.
I've noted that each load calls for a specific primer and type/amount for a specific type of hull. I understand why.
My question is this--I have access to nearly unlimited range pickup hulls. I get everything from really good stuff (AA and STS, for example) to the cheap stuff from Wally World. Unfortunately, the number of good hulls vs cheap ones is 100:1.
None of the cheap hulls aren on the reloading recipe lists that I can find. Does anyone have any clue as to which "good" hull a given cheapie is like (Remington Game Loads are the same as STS, just that the hulls won't take as many reloadings)? Or should I just pony up for a 1000 once-fired STS hulls and stop trying to join the Silas Marner Reloading Society?
