I have a bunch of the older ones. Remington Peters printed on the head. The only thing printed on the hull is the shot size. Unless I'm missing something, they look to be the same as the current RGLs, although they have an 8 point crimp vs 6. Base wad looks to be the same. Anyone else find that both of those hulls reload the same?
Thanks. |

| Older ones were slower and shorter . Newer ones are 1200fps and pretty stout, too stout for my old sxs’s. |

| I have both and reload them the same, the older ones work better in my older guns with tight chambers |
