A call to RST will answer that question. Be quick about it. Alex and dogs will be at the Vintagers and on out of town hunting trips soon.

George I have picked up a few empty RST 10ga hulls and I am sure they are Federal hulls, I found there is no difference in how they load compared to any other Federal 10ga hull.

Pete, They are Cheddite hulls but for all intensive purposes they load the same as Federals.

Dave the empty RST's I picked up were from a couple of years ago, I'm quite certain they were Federal hulls. I am pretty sure I asked the folks at the RST tent about the hulls and they said they used Federal hulls for 10ga and Cheddite in smaller gauges. If Cheddite makes a 10ga hull that would be a fairly recent development and maybe RST switched?

Thanks Pete
The reason I asked was the look damned identical to my Federal 3.5 inch 10 ga hulls- even same color.

Current RST 10 gauge shells are loaded in cut down Federal hulls, with Federal primers. I recently shot a round of sporting with Dave and Mark who operate RST's loading equipment and they confirmed that. Also told me they are looking at alternate hulls, but no decision as yet.
