[QUOTE="Safari Hunt, post: 4998986, member: 21298"] The old shells were paper and needed the extra strength for the higher pressures from the bigger powder charges. One piece plastic shells eliminated the need for high brass. The brass is for the extractor to grip. One manufacturer made plastic shells with a washer molded into the base for nothing more than something for the extractor to grip. I have loaded AA hulls to about 3-1/4 dram equivalent with 1-1/8 oz of #5 or #6 for small game. Haven't used the "high brass" shells in years. Never felt the need. [/QUOTE]
