I loaded up the two I got to fit loosely with a 100 grains of FG, a 1/4 nitro card, a 3/4” fiber cushion wad, 1 5/8oz of #5’s and an overshot card. I tried them at the range along with some of same Laos and charge in a cut down Winchester hull roll crimped with the only difference missing a 3/4” fiber wad. The modern roll crimped style load out shot it hands down at 25 and 40 yards. The brass hulls seemed to fire form out the wrinkles and dents I put in them from the sizing process. Both brass hulls dropped right out loosely after firing. They did have blow back round the casings after firing from the front to half way back. I’ll get they other two to fit and keep all the brass for backups since they don’t pattern as well as plastic hulls.
