i have about 5000 estate 12ga hulls once fired. i hate to toss them, so if i can load them up as a substitute for the federal plastic gold medal hull, i can use a 7/8oz receipe in them with the 12SO wad. am i good to go? any advice on the estate hull?

  An estate hull is a federal hull
  
  you can use what ever federal recipe you have and it should be fine.
  
  the plastic is good for 4-5 loadings just keep in mind the paper base wad can come out after a loading or two so you will want to cull the trice fired hulls for any that show signs of the base wad cracking or separating.

  12ga estates
  
  not much[V]
  
  2/5 cents a piece maybe???
  
  12ga is the least expensive once fired hull
  NOW if they were 28ga you could possibly get 10-12 cents a piece if the right joe saw them and wanted them
  
  Check out reloading here on GB search for Estate hulls there are 3 auctions up and running now that will give you an idea of there value if they end up selling
