I have run into that with B&P High Pheasant hulls where the opening in the base wad was small and the decaping pin had to punch through the plastic first.

I never had that problem but some hulls are made where the primers are crimped into the base, sort of like how military rifle ammo is primed. That makes it a bugger to decap a shell. That could be done to help waterproof hunting shotshells?

That doesn't seem to be the case with these, Mike. About 75% of them punch out like normal, but the others are unbelievably tight.

Thanks for all the ideas, fellas.
