I have about given up on RGL's loading all 16's in Cheddite hulls. Cheddites are not good hulls but RGL 16's are worse. Strange though I load all my 12 Spreader loads in Green Remington hulls & they work fine. For some reason the 16 G Black RGL's deform when fired causing all kinds of crimp troubles. I can iron out the crimps but add's another step to the process.

The RGL used to be decent hulls when Remington was loading them with the 8 point crimp but they changed the material used to form the hulls and pretty much suck these days. I have a couple of flats left from the 90's that are OK but the current ones are not worth picking up anymore.

The only Rem hull I load is the STS in 28ga and they are only good for about three trips through the press. The old AA last forever and I have some of the new HS hull but haven't tried them yet.

I use Cheddite hulls exclusively in 12,16 and 20 all 2 1/2 inch RST hulls and have no problems with them.
