Quick question on reloading. As I was going through my 16ga high brass fiocchi hulls 4-5 reloadings, I noticed the brass head will spin around the hull. The hull is in good shape, the base wad is intact. I resized the brass and the hull will still spin. Keep reloading or toss them is my question? Thanks
Mike |

| I have had a very thin head of the brass seperat from the rest of the brass on federal hulls after 2 firings. That part seem to be glued on. The part that the primer goes into.bever care for federal anyway. |

| Agree, toss'em maybe cut a few down to some odd length and color the bases to use as snap caps. |

if the hull gets separated from the base and gets stuck in the barrel and you don't notice it you could have a very bad day not worth it
I had a federal do this while hunting i notice because it was a extactor gun it was not easy removing the stuck plastic tube from the middle of the barrel |

I concur with the suggestion “toss them”
I cannot say for fact it is a great danger, however betting on it is choosing silly odds for penny savings |

How much is a hull worth?
How much are your eyes worth? |

| If I get 4 to 5 reloads out of any 16ga hull, I'm happy. I'd toss them and call it a day. |
