I didn't say I didn't like them. In fact, I'll reload Top Guns once and discard, and I'll be going to the Gold Medals for multiple reloads. Again, I understand that they reload well. I've read of isolated incidents of hull separation, etc., but you could get that with anything, such as you've said.

As far as reloading data just use the data for the old Top Gun empties. I reload the estates and shoot quite a few in the 20 ga in factory persuasion. Just bought a few more cases in fact. I use them in registered skeet shooting all the time. I even had a guy give me a case of wads for Federal 20 ga shells so I'm gonna load up the 3 or 4 thousand i have here. I also load the 28 ga Estate shells. Most of the time I reload 'em once and let 'em go...mainly cause I have so many. I was at a shoot in Md a week or so ago and shot a 99 with the 20 ga so the shells are good..my shooting wasn't..At the same shoot I had a fellow sell me a case of old Remington RXP 20 ga factory loads for 3.50 a box.. Factory seconds. Those cases last FOREVER
