Ken,
I have just been buying the cheapo Federal All Purpose shells that you can get at Walmart in those 100 packs for $12. From what I understand those hulls are junk but I have buying them to get by until I dust off the reloader. I used to have so many hulls of all kinds when I lived in St. Paul, but when you move across the counrty those just don't make the trip. So basically I can start wherever I want to. I would like to use a hull that is versatile enough to use for trap and all types of hunting loads (pheasant and especially FAST STEEL). I have yet to load fast steel but from what I have heard from Ned (I think he is a reloading god) and the other fast steel types (including you, of course) that fast is the way to go. Especially when you can load effective loads in 2 3/4 hulls. I do not have a steel capable reloader yet but I do have a unversal charge bar. I just have an old MEC 650 Jr but would really like to invest in a nice pregressive reloader eventually. So that being said, do you think the Gold Medal hull would be a good start? It would be SO nice to just use one hull for all loads, although I realize that may not be feasible. I do think it would be a good place for me, a novice reloader, to start. Thank you for your help!
