I like green hulls. To me they last longer than red AA's. Those start cracking at the folds after a couple of reloads. STS will stand more reloads, IME.

JB gave good advice. For a bit more money, a good used MEC on EBay may be an option.

The cowboy action crowd is big into low recoil loads. They usually have good info. Try SASS on line.
