Paul:
You will also notice that about all you get is three reloads tops, before these hulls split at the crimp folds and die. For longevity, I've had much better luck with the Cheddite hulls that Graff sells in bulk.

Best, Kensal

I don't agree. I have reloaded these hulls 6 plus times before chucking them. A lot has to do with the load you use in them. I load mine fairly light and most times they are loaded as spreaders.

Come on Dave, those cheap Rem. game load hulls split on the first firing, right out of the box.

Dave, maybe your HOT loads are causing the plastic to melt and get brittle. I don't know about 16ga, but the 12ga game loads last as long as the STS or Nitro's.
