Just get the correct recipe for them and don't try to substitute components . High or low base has nothing to do with it some cases have no base at all.

You can reload most anything but it's critical you use load data specifically for that case.Any substitutions of all components can cause excessive/dangerous pressure.The surest way to check any case is to saw it in half and compare it to those shown in the manual.Some hulls look exactly alike on the outside but differ inside.Good luck!

Just about any manual on shotgun reloading should answer your questions you can find them in most sporting goods stores or most places that sell reloading supplies . Lymann makes a good one to start with .

I have several books but the Lyman is the best Ive seen.I also have a bunch of old black Rem hulls with both high and low brass.Actually it looks more like copper.Though only once fired and in great shape these are over 20yrs old and they no longer make the primers for them so I have to just throw them out.To bad since Ive got 275 of them ARGHHHH![:@]
