I load them. They will go maybe 4 loads, and I have had them fail by loosing the head at extraction. I normally load them three times and the last loading is left in the woods. They are aggravating because you have to sort them by length and adjust loader to match. As far as load I theat them all to cheddite data. They work OK, but ain't no AA! if I didn't hunt with pumpgun I probably would not mess with them, but can't stand to lose AA in the leaves.

I usually get 5 loads from them. But I'm using a sxs so I get less stress on the case heads. I too have had a few case head failures. Usually the plastic goes out with the shot like a giant slug and all that is left in the chamber is the case head. But for the cost, I won't complain.
