I didnt see the RST hull listed. Is it the same as Federal?

[Bill Murphy]

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.

Shane if you roll crimp you may be able to use the 2 7/8th inch folded crimp data for your 2 5/8th inch loads. I use fiber wads in my 10 gauge loads so adjusting wad column height by 1/4 inch is not a problem

This is obviously a very old thread, however I am new to the site--- I am looking for information on 2 7/8" 10 ga loads. I hope to find loads for 1 1/2, 1 5/8 oz somewhere. There was a PDF supposedly posted here- but I see no attachments anywhere. Any help anyone can provide pointing me in the right direction to find information is greatly appreciated.

Me to. Anyone got any low pressure loads for the 2 5/8" 10 gauge

shane you can use all of the above loads listed for the 2 7/8 in the 2 5/8 you will have to adjust the wadding on some to get a good crimp or roll crimp... charlie

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.
