With everything being equal the Federal 10ga hull will have a little less pressure which I believe is due to the fiber base wad. I have fired thousands of Federal hull reloads and I have never seen a base wad come loose or missing. The hulls will eventually die from side splits and or crimp fatigue/tearing.

I use Cheddites Federals and Remington hulls, don’t mix them with the same loads. Generally Cheddites for 1 1/8 target loads, Remingtons for 1 1/4 oz. Don't have many Federals cut down to 2 7/8,, do have a big box of Federals that will be cut & take the place of Cheddites as they split.
