It is no secret these are excellent hulls to reload.Having used up my old stuff,I opened a new flat of 1oz.#8's for some new hulls to refill.I was amazed at the lack of shot-some of the crimps were so deep as to allow shot to fall out I had this EXACT problem with some STS 410's about a year ago Is it just my bad luck or has anyone else noticed this with Remington shells of any gauge????They cycled my 1100 but were definitely short of shot---not trying to make excuses for my misses--There were a few---I blamed those on the puller of course |

hoa---I did notice more pronounced "dishing " in these #8 loaded shells when I bought a flat of the "new" ones---the ones with the picture of the dove on the box. Can't say it has noticeably lowered the quality---yet.... |

Chief maybe I am old enough to remember getting what I paid for.When I bought several flats of 16 ga 1oz shells that's what was suppossed to be in 'em!They functioned 100 percent ---but--- it throws me to look at a factory hull what is dished in like that.If my loads were the same the shot charge would be bumped up or better yet a filler would be added.I was recently given thousands of overshot card wads---Another thread but I have had excellent luck on the skeet field with 3/4 oz loads and homemade shot. |

Remington black hull
19.3 Universal Clays
SP16
W209
3/4 oz home shot-good stuff-finally figured it out with some modifications.
Average velocity was 1204 fps.These are creme puffs and cycle my 1100.If you want more loads email me.I am headed to the barn---shot five rounds of skeet,had our monthly meeting and have to get up early tomorow---oh yeah you asked about the 3/4's the fillers are from one of my friends they toss these at work.Cardboard inserts are roughly 410 diameter and I use four of 'em per shell.They save me shot and really don't slow my loading down with a Grabber---I have extra if ya could use some.Let me know,might be late Wed. before I reply --- |

I haven't bought any Game Loads recently but Remington ammo quality seems to be slipping. For years I preferred shooting Remington Subsonic 22s when I went to the local range. A couple of years back I started getting so many dud rounds that I gave up on Remington 22s altogether. I have always considered Remington shotshells the best of the "big 3" and am sorry to hear that poor quality has overtaken the shotshell production as well. |
