I'd like to know who would have said that. What possible difference could it make what hull you're using ? The barrels, whether damascus or steel, can't tell the difference. Let's see - damascus barrels talking - I don't like Federal hulls, think I'll blow up. Don't think so.

I've been using purple Federal hulls in steel and Damascus since three years before they made them, with good results. I can't imagine that thread exists because I've been reading this forum since three years before it existed.

I think it had something to do with straight walled hulls vs tapered hulls, such as RGL's. Guess I will load up some 1 oz loads for pheasants so I can use my GH 16 and Lefever G. Many thanks gentlemen.

The ideal situation would be straight wads in straight walled hulls although tapped wads can be used in straight walled hulls. You'll see less performance. Those Federal hulls work just fine, and better if straight wads are used - no worry of powder migrating by the wad.

Great, the load calls for the old W AA 16 or the Claybuster clone--I believe they are straight wall. Similar load uses SG16 wad which I also have.

Harold, I believe the WAA16 is tapered for the tapered Winchester hull?..... But, I have been wrong before.
