Personally, I would use hard brass and anneal the case mouth. If the base of the case is too soft it would expand and not spring back making it hard to extract and re-chamber.
After seeing that you can buy paper tubes to rebuild paper ten gauge cases using the original metal case head, I started thinking about looking for brass tubing to use instead of the replacement paper tubes. If the correct tubing could be found I believe you could replace the paper tube with a brass one with little effort.
Another thought was to machine the case head and then soft solder a brass tube of the proper size to the head.
