10 gauge hull quality
Hello
I would like to know who makes a quality hull in 10 gauge. I have some Winchester Drylocks.
They dont seem to be very good. The crimp was fused at the factory, (right in the center) and now, I have a hard time getting them to crimp well.
Has anybody made and 8 pt. 10 gauge hull? I am new to this gauge, and I have not remembered one, but then again, I wasn't really looking either. From my experience with the 12 gauge, an 8 point is easier to use than the 6 point.
I use new Remington cases with 6pt crimp, loaded on a MEC Sizemaster. They last quite a while; cases are all plastic and steel. My Ithaca auto would occasionally rip the rims on Winchester or Federal cases. My o/u doesn't care. I wish Winchester would make a compression-molded case but I guess they just don't sell enough.

snowmanI would rate the 10 ga cases as Rem being best Fed ok and win the poorest.

Tim in TNI am quite interested in 10ga loading data, I now have 2 10ga shotguns and have seen the light on how well they pattern. I have a Browning BPS 10, dedicated turkey gun with 26" barrel, drilled and tapped with the now discontinued Leupold base. The other is a Remington SP10 that I just traded for at the last gunshow we had. I have been looking at the MEC Sizemaster as well. Do you load waterfowl and or turkey loads? Where do you get Remington 10ga hulls? Thanks for your replys. I also shoot factory Hevi-Shot turkey loads and would love to learn more about it, I have a book coming from precision reloading about reloading the hevi-shot.
