Case in point... Cheddite hulls do not reload well. Hulls buckle when crimping. The hulls expand when first fired to the point of causing extraction/ejector issues on the reloaded shells. And even if they happen to reload well, the hulls last half the amount of reloads as AA or STS hulls.
But... I would say it is a moot point to bring up to morris in the hopes of a component change as the vast majority of RST customers likely do not mess with reloading. I go to the shooting events and see people buying a $1,000 worth of shells by the flat to shoot all weekend and the hulls all go right in the garbage.
The choice of components are likely for two reasons. Cost and achieving the aim of the company (recipes that meet the pressure and performance demands of classic guns).
