I was thinking If I end up ordering 50 brass cases that would probably be a life time supply of 8 gauge shells. I was watching some wildfowlers using the 8 gauges and it looked like they never carried more than a handful of shells at any given time .
Between WIN and REM hulls I've got 1000+ so I'll never wear out what I have . Have three hundred unfired WIN and 200 unfired REM . So once I've sized any that need the initial sizing I'm pretty much done for the rest of my life or so it would seem . I do have a couple hundred REM that are once fired from a kiln gun that I think also need the initial resizing .

I have a 100 bag of the green once fired Remingtons, it takes some serious force to resize them though. I much prefer the Winchesters for that .
