Hairtrigger Hayes Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Saw a thread a few days ago and wanted to revisit the discussion. Are these any good? Cost over reloads is minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I use them in 16 gauge and have never had an issue. You can reload them many, many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairtrigger Hayes Posted June 28, 2018 Author Share Posted June 28, 2018 The only time I ever tried them I had the same problem Culpepper. But that's been a while ago. May have to try a box or two and experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotgun Clay Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Shot a bunch of the 1060 foot per second 1 ounce low recoil loads at sporting clays. Did fine. Seem to cycle OK in my 97, but I've met others who had problems. The 16 gauge work fine in my SXS and A5's, but not my M12 or BPS. Go figure.

Goatneck Clem Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I use the Herters in Sporting Clays and Cowboy Clays. The shot is hard and will break 50 yard crossing birds with no problems. I have yet to find any of their hulls that will reload reliable I use a Spolar reloader. Reliability in the SKB's and BSS's is not good with that said each gun is different. Shotgun Clay is right on with their 1060 FPS loads. They work real well in Cowboy Clays Goatneck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief Rick Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 The first case I bought shucked fine out of both my wife and my SKBs. The last two cases have had several that have had to be pulled from the chamber. I have two more cases, and probably will have no more. They are fine when they shuck and would be great from a 97. The heads appear to be steel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bootless Bob Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I tried two boxes through my SKB (worked over by Johnny Meadows). I had about 5 or 6 from the 50 stick. They run great in my 97 though, a bought two cases just to tun in that. Recoil is light, feels like Winchester feathlights to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Quote The 16 gauge work fine in my SXS and A5's, but not my M12 or BPS. Go figure. Be interesting to hear EXACTLY why the Herters won't chuck in either 16 or 12 ga's in any shotgun. A couple of rounds coated with Prussian Blue or a Magic Marker will indicate where the hulls are hanging up. Anyone want to give it a try and post the results ... for the good of the order with detail information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 I have no problem with their low recoil shells. They come out of my BSS just fine. I do, however, know folks that do not trust them to shuck out. I don't reload them. The cost was so close to reloading that I bought many cases of them while I could still order them in Ca. Now that internet ammo is hard to get in Ca., I'll just go back to reloading after I run out of them. I don't reload the cases.... I have MANY Remington hulls that I use for that.
