Remington STS, and Nitro27 hulls, are considered by many to be "the" hull to get your hands on for reloading. The Gun Clubs are right up there in the same league, but tend to get frazzled a little sooner. Is frazzled a word? :-) I mean of course, that the hull end seems to get a bit crispy after 6 reloads, where the STS and Nitro27 hulls seem to last, and last, 8-10+ reloads is not unusual. Some of the Gun Clubs also have a steel base, and may not be as smooth on the resizeing die, as the brass, or brass washed hulls.
They are all a one piece hull, which makes them safer from the standpoint, that you can never shoot out the basewad, as the new style AA-HS have been rumored to have happen. I think Winchester has made some changes to the HS hull, to prevent this, but they are still a pain to load (compared to the Rem hull), with thier creasing, and buckling. :roll:
Load data for AA vs Rem hulls is almost interchangeable, BUT, if you look at load data for Red Dot powder, you'll see the pressure in the Rem hull for some reason (even with all other components being the same) seem higher than the AA hull. I load Clays powder, and use the exact same load in either hull, with no problems. :-)
