A buddy from long ago gave me a couple of boxes of empty hulls. I really appreciate it, as one box is full of old one piece AA's, which I really love. The new 2 piece AA's just never held up the same for me.
The paper is a whole new world. I probably have 500 or so, and not Federal, but Winchester it appears. I have read many times about the smell of Federal papers, and you need to bake the empty hulls before reloading them? They take a special crimp die? They take a special wad?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I load on a Spolar, and it is dialed in honestly for STS and Nitro 1 oz and 1-1/8 oz. I really don't want to screw that up, as they are just right and to load 500 papers 1 time would not be worth the trouble.
But if this groups sage advice is I can load them with my existing gear 1 time, with a DR or CB wad, Win 209 primer, Clay powder, well, that would be special.
Thanks in advance for looking and any info you can share with me. If it is something I determine to be too much screwing around, I will send them off to a good home to someone who can use them.
