This ^^^If they are fresh reloadable hulls (like Winchester AA etc) yes. If they're cheap bargain type hulls probably not. Most have a steel base instead of brass nowdays. That's become a real problem in the public areas. I pick them up and throw them away when I can, but there's just soooo many. Looks like hell doesn't it?

There are some good reloadable hulls like AA, some Rems. and some Federal.
I am not current on what the keepers are. Maybe someone that is up-to-date on shotgun reloadable hulls could chime in ?
As far the junk hulls, I don't know if any of those are even recyclable..might be a throwaway situation ?

Ah so..The Win AA HS are good for reloading along with the Rem STS and Gun Club. The Rem's are probably the better ones because I believe they are a fully straight wall hull. The Win's have a very slight taper but I have found that they are far more indestructible. I completely agree that it's terrible to see the woods become a trash dump for lazy shooters...if you can even call them shooters. A little respect out there can go a long ways into preserving NW shooting areas.
When I used to load 12 gauge I always preferred the AA for trap and skeet and the super x for hunting. Always seemed like the components fit just right and the crimp came out looking really professional. I remember getting 8 to 10 reloads out of them and you could keep loading them till the ends blew off.Ah so..
The STS and the Gun Club must be similar to the Federal Gold Medal that I used to like to load (1-1/4 oz 1330 fps).
Straight wall with a separate base.
AA's are a one piece hull that are very robust.
Low brass, high brass makes no difference. The AA hull would work with no brass.
Brass height was a marketing tool.....Super X got the high brass to suggest "powerful field load" to the consumer.
They did look cool, but the hull was the same inside as an AA target hull.
I know we don't like new laws, but what if it was required that shotgun hulls were made out of steel and paper, instead of brass and plastic? Paper wads and paper hulls used to work just fine, and if they were left in the field they were biodegradable within a few years.If they are fresh reloadable hulls (like Winchester AA etc) yes.

That would break down faster but those are two of my least favorite things to have associated with ammo.I know we don't like new laws, but what if it was required that shotgun hulls were made out of steel and paper, instead of brass and plastic?

Paper hulls can be reloaded and when they are re-crimped they come out a lot nicer than plastic.That would break down faster but those are two of my least favorite things to have associated with ammo.
Yep, prettiest crimp you ever saw.Paper hulls can be reloaded and when they are re-crimped they come out a lot nicer than plastic.
I remember that my grandpa always bought break action shotguns because of the paper shells. He said they would swell and wouldn't feed right in a pump or auto but you could always shove them in a double and they'd still work mostly lol.I know we don't like new laws, but what if it was required that shotgun hulls were made out of steel and paper, instead of brass and plastic?
