I have shot quite a few of the Cabela's/Herters and have also been reloading them. They are cheddite hulls. Don't think I'd shoot them thru Damascus barrels, but they reload nicely, My VH 16 1 frame has known nothing but the black RGL's since I bought it in 1986. I personally would shoot them. I have 6 cases of RGL's left that I bought at $40/case and 2 cases of Federals and 6 cases of the Herters. My reloads of those shells and 2 1/2" RST's are definitely more recoil friendly when shooting a lot such as shooting clays. You might be able to pick up a MEC 600 cheaply at a gun show and try reloading. I picked up a Mec 600 in 20 ga+ 100 wads and 100 primers for $50 at the gun show in Washington, Pa on Sat. Are you having your shoot in Harrisburg again this spring?
