Box says made in Italy. Are the hulls re-badged Fiocchi?

I believe they are Cheddite. I bought several flats and have been saving the hulls but haven't loaded any yet.

They are Cheddite, I've shot and loaded about a flat of them with no issues. In my SxS Dickinson I end up using about 1 tube tighter constriction with the Herters than with my reloads for backyard clays.

Good to know.

The factory Herter's makes patterns IC-LM in my Ithaca M37 Modified barrel. It is a sweet pattern for upland hunting.

They reload pretty decent, if that interests you.
But after 3-4 loadings, the crimp gets prtty ragged and has splits.

Looks like they are way out on back order now too, so much so, that Cabela's won't sell them as a back order item. Maybe a concession to the new merger?

I tried to buy some in Cabels Rogers, Mn earlier this week.
They were out of stock.

Yeah, I'll be reloading them. Thanks for cluing me as to what to expect.

They pattern great in my Citroi, not sure I could draw a better pattern. They crush targets too, they hit like high antimony lead although I doubt they are just based on price.

I used up my $20 off coupon and picked up a couple more flats last week so maybe they got them back in stock.

They do pattern nicely in my M12.
