While looking ofer loads on the LOW PREASURE spread sheet, I see that there is referance made to the type of CHEDDITE HULL that was used.

I am in need of more hulls and plan to place an order @ GRAFS, my question being; is there any difference of benifit to the high base,(HIGH BRASS) the load that I like best is in a RST HULL, and I am wondering if RST is using this hull that maybe there is a reason.

I am loading for a 2 1/2" gun, and It would be easier to buy the short hulls, but if there is some benifit to the HIGH BRASS the extra work won't kill me.

thanks in advance BRUCE

Bruce,
Actually I find the low brass easier to use and resize, no ballistic benefit one way or the other, and from memory they're a tad cheaper. I don't bother with "high brass" unless you want a quick visual check on a specific load. I believe the RST's are Cheddites.
Cheers,

I would second that. I use the different brass as a quick ref to whether I have a phez load or quail load in my hand. (or lead/non-toxic)

Just wanted to thank everybody for their response,I don"t know where a person would even go to get answers to these questions.

I saw on a post a while back someone crowing about the 20 bucks spent on the LPG, thinking that he didn't get much for his money.

I just want RUSS and everyone to know I appreciate the help,(I put Russ through 20.oo of aggravation with my computer issues at the time)

I ordered some of the 2 1/2" ched. and some of the paper.

I plan on roll crimping some paper loads 7/8s oz and sending to TOM, will get the results to RUSS.

THANKS AGAIN BRUCE
