Looked at the Winchester site. Nothing about loading. Checked their time-line and they are bragging about when they introduced the one-piece AA hull and how strong and reloadable it was. Nothing mentioned about when the dropped it and how sorry the new hulls are.

Okay, straight out. Is it safe to load the new AA hulls or not?

YES!

NO...Don't listen to Burnt Powder!
Send 'em to me so I can dispose of them properly for ya! 8)

Aw...shucks!
Okay.....
Yeah you can reload 'em....
I use the same recipe as the old AA's without any problem.

Dang it, BP!.....

It's sure safe man but the hulls suck. They always squish right at the basewad about 3/4" from the brass. I'm having some success with them now after destroying over 100 of them on my 600jr. Stick with the old ones or go to Remington STS/Nitro's. They're a better design.

Along the same line, is the "Win. Polyformed with Plastic Wad" mentioned in the Alliant Reloader Guide, a third and seperate hull than the old and new AA?

Thanks,
Tony

Yes, it is.

It is perfectly safe but the only thing that i have run into is that the shape on the inside, down by the primer is a little different, so everything sits a little higher in the hull. My 20 gauge 1oz load barely fits in the new hulls. I just use my old ones. I'm fortunate enough to have about 4 thousand of them, many with the red writing on them. sorry if that makes you guys jealous!!!

Clayslayer: I have been squishing them at the base of the wad too man, don't feel alone!!!

good luck
