Peters Heavy 8 hulls?
Got 2/3 of a bucket full of blue Peters hulls marked "Heavy 8". Got em from willk when I acquired an old MEC press from him a while back. Need to nail down a recipe for 'em and get to crankin. I've done some googling and was left a little confused. Wanted to double check with the brain trust.
Research shows that there were a few variants of Peters blue hulls, depending on when it was purchased. Remington Peters is stamped on the brass, and they're the real brass base as a magnet doesn't stick to anything but the primer. Think I read where some were brass plated steel but that's not what I have here. Pretty sure what I have is the real namesake "blue magic", but could be wrong. Research also stated the any old Remington STS/Gun Club load works.
I got Claybuster and WAA12 wads, and e3, clays and blue dot for powders. Was hoping to find a recipe that used some of what I already had, but not a issue if I gotta buy more components. I'm all ears if y'all got any tried and true recipes for these hulls. Thanks in advance.
