If you don't want to use brass you can use paper hulls. Federal and Fiocchi make nice paper shells. Then you don't need to deal with plastic fouling in your bbls. Use fiber/card wads too and the bbls will be cleaner.

In 10 gauge? that would be great

My bad, I was thinking 12g. If I loaded BP for 10g I'd try to find paper hulls or use plastic hulls with fiber/card wads. If they were used hulls, I'd throw them out after using it as the heat from the BP may make the plastic deteriorate.

Ballistic Products is selling plastic, new, primed Federal 10g hulls that can be cut down.

Tough hulls! 7/10/2014
Im running black powder thru these hulls. I made a handloading set and reload them with steel and lead. 95-100 gr. 2F bp. I have 5 reloads and the hulls still have at least 3 more left. Great, great product
