Servicios y Aventuras HULL 20ga 2.75"12mm (NEW) PRIMED p/100 YELLOW 2300c

These hulls are as advertised, an unskived hull and therefore a full 2.75" length, maybe a touch more. They are easily skived with a rotary skiving tool, large kitchen knife or appropriate size broad head. You may wish to measure length and determine if they are a uniform length before skiving. If you have been reloading old age hardened American hulls, like Federal or Remington, like I have, on my 1983 MEC 600 Jr. When you switch to using these you will need to adjust your crimp cam up (clock wise) and possibly the die height, in order to avoid a base kink or bad crimping. These are new soft supple hulls that will last a long time when loaded properly. Do not let operator error deter you. I did not adjust my cam for the first hull and did suffer a base kink. By the third hull I had my crimp cam dialed in and my die height slightly adjusted and did not suffer any further kinks. There is a very slight amount of castling to the crimp rim, That I have tried to adjust out, but I do not believe I can tune that out completely with factory MEC pre-closure or crimp die. I believe I would need to upgrade to a Ribassatore style pre-closure die to get the ultimate factory crimp. These also seem to have a primer pocket that is snug enough that it will hold a 209 primer without swaging the primer pocket, but I still swage my foreign made hulls for peace of mind.

even with shipping, the cost of primed hulls nearly as cheap as just primers.
good hulls, consistent, haven't found any culls yet so a good purchase

These are not skived and I crushed every hull I tried a fold crimp on-even after trimming and ski ink. So, With my BPI roll CRI per tried over shot cards and roll crimp to no success. The plastic would flatten but not roll. I’ll punch out the primers and reuse them in good hull of any other brand.
