The light colored purple 16 gauge RST hulls are very very good hulls to reload. I use a PW 375C reloading machine that I adjusted to reload the short 65 mm hulls, also known as 2 and 1/2 inch hulls. I use 7625 in one of the reloads with one ounce of lead shot and I use UNIVERSAL CLAYS in the other one ounce 16 gauge reload. The UNIVERSAL CLAYS reload with one ounce of #8 lead shot seems to be a little hotter then the 7625 reload. I am using the Remington 209 size primer in both of these reloads. This purple 16 gauge RST hull is just a wonderful hull to work with. Good Shooting To You All, Jent
