Just what I've read on another reloading forum - Federal paper shells have the habit of leaking around the primer. Don't know if that's true - just a word of caution. Also, they have paper base wads that can come loose and lodge in the barrel. Another reason to check your barrels every time you shoot. And if you want to reload em really correct, use fiber wads from
