Win AAs or Federal Champions? I have a bunch of both but can only have room for one or the other, which should I keep?

I had 1k Fed champions and they were great, but as with all paper hulls it just takes a couple loads to start burning through at the crimp. Now I suppose you have plastic ones?

When I was actively shooting trap I would load the Federals.

Gold Medal? or Champions? New AA with the seperate base wad or older AA with the one piece?
Rankings the way I see them IMO:
1. Old one piece AA
2. Federal Gold Medal
3. R-P Premier STS
4. New AA with seperate base wad.
5. All the rest.
I don't like paper.

AA's and federals. I find Federal Top Gun the best all round ~ slugs, buckshot and target shot. The one with the 8 crimp.

I like the OLD AA's and Rem STS shells the same, and rank them as #1

Feds I have trouble with the crimp opening back up over time.

The New AA's are OK

Load up one and then fire and leave them lay, then keep the others ;)
