Fed'l hulls use or not?
Hi! I'm new here,love this site lots of info. I have been away from reloading for about 25yrs(med'l) & I was up bow hunting, atleast 20 miles from any town at the end of a spur road were approx 5-700 spent casings,mostly shot gun, it was sickening & with no excuse for it! Sorry about carry on, but maybe some of these Wallyworld people will read this & strike home. I only had 2 garbage bags & picked up what I could & will get more next trip. Now to my question, about 5 boxs of good Fed'l 7 1/2, 1 1/8oz, 3 drams hulls, they look just like the Fed'l gold medal I reload, but no markings except on the head stamp made in USA & 12ga, but the base is not brass it's silver looking & magnetic, so can I reload reload these hulls using my Gold Medal recipes? Thanks! & my next question will be shorter

Those hulls are just the standard fed hipower hulls and take alittle different load than the goldmedals do however they are quite loadable if in good condition and they haven't been damp. Only problem i see with them is they take a bit more powder than some of the others and the unplated heads will rust if they have been at all damp. Not my favorite hulls but can be quite servicable. 0 -

Thanks 20gabob! for the quick reply, the base was what I was concered with because of rust on the ones that were ran over.0
