8 gauge hulls

[charlie cleveland]

wish you the best on your surgery...i know what your saying about the 8 ga kicking hard but ive had the 3 inch 12 ga and the 3 1/2 inch 12 ga hurt me bad a few times...id rather shoot the 8 than a 12 magnum double or a single barrel...the weight of the 8 ga keeps recoil from being to bad...bill ive loaded a lots of rounds for the 8 ga with out theproper tools..i use my old lee hand loader 10 ga most of the time...got me a crimp roller from precision works purty good a lot of times i barrow my wifes hot glue gun... bill did you use a lathe to peel those hulls... charlie

If you have the two piece shells, start by removing the primer. Then cut a 45 degree notch just at the edge of the outer brass with a machinist's saw. A little piece of the brass will pop up when you cut through the outer brass before the saw hits the inner brass. Grab the little piece with a needle nose pliers and roll the brass until you remove the whole thing. The primer hole will now accept a 209 primer. I don't remember whether new Remington hulls can be peeled like this. The last ones I did were WW paper. I hear most people use a sizer these days.

I just looked at a black Remington plastic hull, and it seems to be two piece.
