[QUOTE="Hunter 257W, post: 5002588, member: 12277"] Yeah, when I started loading shotshells I thought you had to match the load to the brass height but soon learned that it had nothing to do with case strength. I bought about 2 cubic yards of empties years ago and got a little of everything and actually prefer the low brass hulls because they are a lot easier to size and usually have more capacity. My all time favorite was the old Remington RXP target hull from years ago that used a 97 size primer. Those primers could be bought cheaper than 209's when they were going out of style too. Once the primers ran out I just forced 209's in them and after one loading they worked fine with 209's. They didn't split on the mouth as soon as AA's. Not that there is anything wrong with an AA either. The RXP's more or less tend to just slowly erode away in the crimp area. Also they seemed to have the smallest rim diameter of any 12 Gauge hull and were the only hull I could count on to not get stuck in the Ithaca 37 magazine tube. It was frustrating as heck to be hot on the trail of a flock of blackbird on a cold Winter day and be stuffing shells in the tube as fast as I could then feel one suddenly stick turning the pump into a single shot. I got pretty good at taking the barrel off and using several shells loaded into the front of the tube to shove the oversize offender backward but I preferred the RXP's so the problem didn't happen in the 1st place. I have 2 model 37's and this problem was common with both of them. [/QUOTE]
