Anyone know if you can use the load data for gun club/sts/premier hulls with the Black Rem hulls and green sure shot hulls?

I measured hull capacity with buffer and they were all within a grain or 2 of each other. I used calipers to measure from the plastic basewad to the edge of the hull. The sts and black hulls were the same and the sure shot hulls were .030” longer, implying slightly more capacity.

I assume data is interchangeable, but thought I’d ask here before loading.

Look inside the hull. If it is a one piece hull they are considered interchangeable. 2 piece disc base are not. Usually different colored flat disc. Yellow was popular. "Power piston" hulls are not, also could be either 209 size primers or 57* type primers. Usually fiber based, but not always. Some fiber base 209 size primer hull came from the factory for a relatively short time. Those pictured in post#1 are all considered interchangeable.

they're the same.
the chunks of colored plastic dumped in the bin with the 'clear' [opaque actually] chunks at the time of manufacture is the only difference.

i like the black ones better, but haven't seen any kicking around for a while now. [they also come with a 6 point crimp FYI]
