I use Red Dot, 1 1/8 Oz #34 Bushing, #8 Shot, WAA12 WAD and do use WIN Super X hull, on A Mec 8567N Grabber.  I only reload two time and trash.  Put a sharpie line on the hull.  I use it for skeet and target.  I use it in my Benelli M4, Remington 11-87, Remington 870, and also in my Browning Sporting with zero problem.
Thx for the input...U use the hulls with steel bases as well?  ....did u find that recipe in a book, im having,trouble finding any super x loads and no reply from winchester as of yet? Any problems with wad base separation?  Mahalos...i would like to chrono that load...how much red dot u start with?

You'll want to get your hands on Win AA hulls at some point if you're going to stick with that recipe.  I don't have any scientific data that says the Super X hulls are worse than the AA hulls, just my own experience - the AA just seemed to last longer than the Super X.  Watch out for for the issues below

What kind of shotgun are you going to use them in?  Semi?  Pump? O/U?  If you're going to use them in a semi, you'll want to pay close attention to the condition of your hulls.  As soon as they begin to show signs of wear, such as holes or cracks in the crimp area, throw it out.  Pumps are generally not as "sensitive" to these issues as semi's but you'll still want to pay close attention.  O/U have no moving parts to speak of so they're no all that sensitive at all.
awesome...thats all i wanted to hear!! Ill be using in a weatherby pump..if i can get at least one or two out of them, id be happy..untili i get my AAs in....i hate to waste anything  i can have a use for.....In ur opinion, does the AA load data sound about right for the super x? Thx bota

just what I've been finding on internet and trial and error. I did a 10lb smelt with the 9lbs and 1lb mix.  looks and shoots well... was having a problem with frosted looking bullets...think I corrected with smelt and mold temp. no leading of barrel and so far accurate enough for silhouette...thx OF....

Read about webcams being installed for lines in drivers license renewal sites... Hint hint.... Of course security is of concern, just focus cam angles line of site away from employees work stations and just for the ease of making a decision to take off for the day to register, applying, renewing, etc...

Your C&R is a FFL license to collect curio and relic firearms. So usually firearms that are 50 years old or older qualify and you can have them mailed to your house.

If not check out the x ring has, the 91/30 is a great gun. There's also a sniper version and it won't break the bank, the common version at least.

] bass is right, mosins are cheap and from what I read and heard are accurate.. It's been used by many countries during conflict for over a hundred years.  Ammo is cheap and a Monte Carlo synthetic stock is available, though the bolt angle kit for traditional Scopes seem cheesy, cutting off bolt handle and drilling and tapping for a a lower drop handle to clear scope, if u have the means, have it fitted then tig welded.. Though scout Scopes have had considerable success.. 149.00 at Ogc, Ati stock and bolt kit about 100.00... Wolf ammo around 13.00 for 20rds or Russian surplus 440CT for about 130.00. Can't go wrong in the pocket, with a caliber similar to 308, 3006. That's where I think im heading.....
