Cheyenne Culpepper 32827 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I've had a couple boxes of estate, 12 g 1 1/8 oz 1145 fps, for a while and din't use them because thay are quite a bit stouter than my reloads.. BUT I was comparing them physically to my AAs,,, they are close to .010 smaller in diameter than my AAs,,, I used them on occassion at GOA this weekend, especially on stages that required a different shuck than I normally do,,, use they do kick more, but, they fly out of my sxs compared to my AAs,,, guess I won't be throwing the hulls away after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Slim Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 The Estate hulls I reloaded liked to split. Not all but enough to be annoying. You can fit A LOT of BP in them though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have some in 16 ga. I was hoping they would be OK ... I will use them for Indoors shooting in the Winter and as a Source of Hulls to stuff with Black .... Jabez Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I was hoping they would last better than the Reminton "Game Load" hulls ,,,,, They last a max of two loads with black .... The Purple Fed. hulls go about 3 loads ...... Jabez Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I have found'em to be some of the best hulls for reload'n. AA's go in the trash...... OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Meadows,SASS#28485L Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I use AA's twice and throw them away. I use the estate many times. J.M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried a box of smokeless and had three or for split. Once fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
