28 Gauge Wads
I need help with knowing, what brand wads I can use with the following hulls:
Chalenger
Federal
Fiocci
Remington
PMC
Estate
Why not start with Claybusters? Be aware that your press may need adjusting for each one of the different types of hulls. In addition I don't know how successful you will be reloading the Estate shells. I have not reloaded them or PMC.

RaySenderoRemington hulls and clay buster wads work good together!

NevadanTry Ballistics Products (ballisticproducts.com). They have a great selection of shotgun reloading components including the 28 ga.
I've used them for years and they offer tech advice for loads, if asked.

Scout Master 54Challanger, PMC, Nobel Sport, Kent, P&B & Rio etc are all the euro trash hull made by Chedite. In fact if you secton one the Fiocchi hulls you will find that it is so similar to be nearly indistinguishable from the Chedite hull. You can expect about 3 reloads before they will split at the folds. Estates & Federals are the same hull just a slightly diffrent color. All of these can be loaded with the Revised Red Duster or the CB 5034 HSx wad and you can save on the cost over the BPI, Gualdini, Rem OEM or Federal OEM wads. The 28 ga Rem STS hull works well with the CB 1034 wad and I see Micro Technologies is listing loading data for their Red Duster wad as well. The Rem hull is slightly better than the euro trash hulls with maybe 4 or 5 reloads but the mouth of the hull turns all crispy and the folds split. The best hull by far is the 28 ga Win AAHS (+10 reloads) if you can get your hands on some. Yes, you may find you may need to make press crimp & wad pressure adjustments between brands.

rem700-3I load alot of Estate brand hulls for 28 a guy gave me 2 grocery bags full a few years ago and the have become my favorite for 28 and 410. For the 28 I use WAA28 and WAA 28 HS depending on the load. Im sure the claybuster will do just fine as well.
