[QUOTE="Southern Sportsman, post: 5056550, member: 10399"] You may realize this, but it’s a little unclear from your post. Part of what you posted in your list are just the names Hal assigned to various load recipes. For example, the “20 ga XXL” refers to one recipe, the “Big 20 NC Speed” refers to a different recipe. The hulls themselves are just going to be 3” or 2 3/4” hulls manufactured by Federal, Fiocchi, or Cheddite. Like Andy said, there are none available from normal suppliers right now. And I have heard that Federal is no longer going to sell surplus hulls, so “new primed” federal hulls may be a thing of the past. Also fyi, if you are lucky enough to find 3” hulls, you can easily trim them to length for use in 2 3/4” recipes. If you find yourself needing to do that, shoot me a message and I’ll explain the easy way to do it. If all else fails, you could probably buy a box of 3” 20 gauge Federal or Fiocchi duck loads, cut the crimp off the top, empty the hull, and trim the empty hulls down to use with 2 3/4” TSS recipes.
