I have had these 12 ga. hulls for a while now and would like some info. They are Win., marked CAW Enforcement only, 00B. I would like to reload them using #3 buckshot. What would they be equivalent to? TIA.

I suspect thats LAW enforcement only. the safest way is to cut one in half long ways and see if its straight wall or tapered and then compare it to a know hull.
if you are ever being chased by a taxidermist, don't play dead
Are these olive colored hulls, with a black plated head, same as the military uses? Winchester has used a ton of variations on their hulls, which make them a pain to work with. My guess is you have a straight walled, plastic base version. You will need to cut one in half length wise to know for sure which one you have.
I also have some WW XM257 hulls for #4 buckshot. Both the LE and the 257 hulls are red, one military and the other LE according to what I found in searching.
