absolutely agree Peter- I mostly load the NPE Cheddite for the 10 and occasionally the 12 when its a specific load requiring the hull. the only RST i ever reload have the taller brass, i get significantly fewer buckled hulls with them the the very low brass version.

I got a thousand once fired 12s in Remington's and another of the Federal and find they are much sturdier
