I want to use a .575 round ball in a 20ga with blue dot powder and a cheddite hull. I cannot find any load data for a regular slug load with this hull much less a roundball. I already have WAA20 wads and would like to use these since I have 2000 of them on hand. Unless someone know where I can find winchester hulls with out buying a box of shell and shooting them up.

WAA20's are a poor choice for that hull as the cheddites are straight walled and you will get powder migration with that wad/hull combo. Federal wads fit cheddite hulls almost as well as European wads and federal wads are what i use in them. I have used federal data with cheddite hulls, but if you do this, you do it at your own risk. I contacted Alliant several years ago regarding my desire to do so and reported my findings to the tech i spoke to regarding the hull capacity and base wad design and was told that i SHOULD be okay interchanging the data.

you would be better off with remington hulls anyways.
cheddite hulls are a name brand.
reifenheusen is the type that they are,same as a federal.

Not always, reifenhauser tubes are often the better choice for round balls and slug loads because there is no tapering to cause bulging and the walls are thinner. There is more room to work with when loading heavy and magnum field loads too. Of course they have short loading lives, but for the hunter that isn't a problem.

Are you looking for AA's or the cheap universals? You should be able to find either of them on gunbroker. Or post a want to buy request on this site.

You can always find Once Fired AA's and Rem STS's on www.trapshooters.com

The people there, are pretty much like the people here. IN fact quite a few people from there are also here. Myself included.
