I load shells in the winter and shoot the remainder of the year. So, I have 3500 AAHS 12 ga hulls that I am cycling now and am on the fifth reload. To the best of my knowledge I have never had a base wad separate. However, I have had 4 instances where the entire plastic tube has partially separated from the metal head. I discovered them while reloading and noticed a hull much longer than the others. My current batch of hulls is a mix of red and grey and all of the separations have been on red hulls. I intend to scrap them after this firing despite the condition of the case mouth is still good and serviceable.
