    Has anyone reloaded federal 28 ga hulls and if so any problems? I received a tote full of once fired hulls but have never loaded Federals.
    Would appreciate any info.
    Thanks,
    Nick

    I reload 5 times max
    Any more and chance of cut offs greatly increase
    Also primer pocket becomes enlarged
    Other than that,they reload and shoot just fine

    great looking crimp, could probably last more 3 or 4 reloads if the primers holes did not start leaking

    I started loading Federals the same as AA's. Didn't even have to change the loader (Mec 8567) grabber). I've been shooting them with no problems. I expect to get atleast 5 loads out of them. Let me know if you don't want them.
