bill I have loaded brass shells with smokeless powder before....I learned a few things first put 1 to 2 grains of black powder in the brass hull against the primer I just poured it into the brass hull then put your smokeless powder in on top of the black powder....finish up with 1/8 inch thick card wads better than the old hard fiber wad....then finish up with your lead shot...then put your thin wad over shot then I used a hot glue gun to seal my top wad while holding down pressure while glueing...I ve never had a misfire while using this method using a brass hull with smokeless powder in a brass hull....charlie

Default Hull Fatigue

Well it definitely appears to be hull fatigue, new hulls crimp perfectly

What is the hull life been for you guys using these Winchester Industrial hulls.

Thanks,
Stan

All my shotgun loading life I’ve never segregated hulls by number of loadings so that’s a question I can’t answer . But knock on wood I’ve not had any do what that one did for you .
