If you have thousands of them I would probably just sell them as is and whoever wants to salvage them can decided how they want to go about taking them apart.

edgarspencer- here are a few pics of the hulls (loaded and clipped open) Let me know if they don't show up and I'll figure it out. As you can see, my opening up the shell only clips off about 3/16" of the hull, just not sure if this is a bad thing or not.

I think its going to depend what loads and wads people are using if the length off matters. I think most of the 8 gauge guys are using SP-8 wads. I know with the 1 3/4oz loads I loaded using SP-8 wads I could lop 1/4" off the hulls and still have room, by removing the 1/4" filler wad. Using fiber wads on the other hand you can pretty much configure the stack height to work with a wide variety of hull length and shot weight. So cutting 3/16" off the end wouldn't necessarily ruin the hulls but I think its going to depend on what specific loads 8 gauge guys are shooting.

I just noticed that one shell looks identical to one I loaded myself with a homemade shotcup. Does it have a sleeve in it ? I have pulled apart some old Winchester Industrial loads that had a shot collar or sleeve in the hull, not really sure why since they were lead loads.
|
Yes, the #2 kids have a sleeve. Powder, cup, fibre wad, shot and sleeve, overshot card

Mr. Starr thank-you for your response. That is exactly the kind of info I’ve been looking for. If what I’m doing still leaves the hull usable then I literally have thousands of hulls that the 8 ga guys will find useful. Thanks for your input.

Well it’s none of my buisness , HOWEVER ! If a person roll crimps ONLY I think they’d be okay . However many folks like myself fold crimp , SO I want the full 3.25” on a WIN hull and having trimmed some WIN hulls down a bit to try in Edgar’s friend roll crimper WIN hulls thicken up not to far from the mouth . Again roll crimping is fine for most but with WIN hulls I wanna fold and not have to roll like I do with REM hulls .
|
Good to know, thank-you Sitka.
So, are there guys out there that would want to roll crimp that need hulls and are OK with them being slightly shorter… |
