I watched Larry Potterfield loading original 10 ga brass hulls I think they were UMC , he used large pistol primers if I recall .
I watched a youtube video of a guy hunting ducks with a box of 12 ga shells from the 1950s . They fired each time but he didnt realize those old shells were lead
.
If the paper hulls dont work out I may eventually ordered some brass ones from RCC .
