Default 8 gauge hulls

You gentleman that reload the 8 gauge , what do you use for hulls ?

Do you go to Rocky Mountain Cartridge and buy the brass hulls are have you guys found some sort of way to use the Remington Industrial plastic hulls ?

Or is there someone I'm not aware of that manufactures a good sporting plastic 8 gauge hull ?

And another question .

If you have access to a good sporting plastic 8 gauge hull , what do you use to make a 6 or 8 point crimp ?

Some eight gauge shooters resize the "industrial base" on eight gauge hulls. Depending on the design of the hull, you may be able to peel the base off the hull like I used to do. RMC brass hulls are a good choice if you can afford what you need. I have 30 of these and that seems to be enough for me. Gary Herman's Bismuth cartridges are in sized Remington or Winchester hulls that can be reloaded. The Remington hulls look like they would be a better choice. They are a good buy if you can hook up with him. He will probably be at the Southern Side by Side.

Bill, the 8s I was refering to in GT's basement are Eley. I think the Bismuth ones may be under some other name, not sure, though I've moved them so many times, I ought to remember. I'll check this week.

Edgar, I have both Gamebore and Eley factory loaded Bismuth eights from Gary. The Eley are in Remington hulls and the Gamebore are in Winchester hulls, as I recall. I have not shot any, but I had to have them. I have a lifetime supply for US use, enough for a long vacation in the UK. I may shoot a few tame mallards with them when I recover from hand surgery. That won't be until next season.

Charlie, you will have to ask the owner of the shells. Maybe Edgar can give you contact information. I don't have it right now.
