RST Shells

[john pulis]

I’ve had that happen with Federal Papers, after several reloads, especially with an ejector gun. The brass base separated from the paper tube, flew 5 feet. I pulled out the tube with small players I keep in my gun cart for just such instances. Never had that happen with plastic hulls and I reload RSTs, till they fail to crimp.

I never had RST plastic hulls (Cheddite) separate while reloading. I have had 4 hulls extract the head off the hull body the past two years at the Spring Southern. If I remember correctly they were all on 16g shells.

Precisely what happened to me recently, except it was a Fiocchi 28ga hull. I do know one of my guns has a larger chamber, because I have to run them thru the sizer before they will loosely fit into the turret of the 9000. That hull may have been reloaded several times.
