Tom, I believe the base wad is plastic, same as a Remington. I too just reload Remingtons so I'm not sure; but from what I've read on a reloading forum the Win hulls are different lengths and that could be your problem.

Paul,
The info I received through 3rd, 4th, or 5th hand, was when Winchester went to the two piece hull, the grade of plastic changed. Some are of the opinion that the plastic base wad in the AA two piece hull is softer than the original AA hulls. Thus the base wad compresses more with each firing. All I know is that I have tried to keep track of how many times I reload my Nitros and lost count. So I just look at them and when they look a little iffy, I toss them.
Tom
