Rather new to shotshell reloading but am an old hand at centerfire rifle and pistol, so I know the ropes when it comes to component safety.

I was given a tub full of empty shell hulls and have sorted out the WW 12 ga. I have several types only one of which I can find and easily identify in reloading charts found on the net. That one is AA trap, but I have only a few and will set these aside till I get more.

How do I treat the following that I have ample of and wish to reload:
WW low brass squirrel & rabbit
WW high brass duck & pheasant
WW high brass Mark 5

Any simple explanation would help. :confused:

Howdy Cpt. Since I'm not very well versed on the Winchester hulls it would be best to let someone more knowledgable than I help to identify the ones you have.

Now for load components and load recipes I can highly recomend Ballistic Products. They've done a tremendous amount of load R&D on both recipes and their own proprietary components, and it paid off rather well for my 16ga. You might e-mail BP to see if they have any load recipes for these specific hulls.
