    No one needs a 10 ga for hunting.

    I only use a .410.

    Wow! 3.425" does not sound correct. That would leave about a .075 long crimp. Anybody else have a brand other than Federal? This is not what I expected, but thanks for checking.

    You might have missed my earlier post that said an unfired one was 3.02"

    Sorry, I did miss that. I finally sat down and went into SAAMI specs. OAL-Folded(Shot) 3.110, Rolled(Slug) 3.290. Fired(Uncrimped) 3.510 All lengths have a -.250 tolerance. The length of the brass(Base) is meaningless. I was looking at 20 ga and 16 ga also. It is easy to see how people get in trouble with them. There is a lot of interesting stuff in there if you have the time.

    They were more than likely used by market hunters when they used to shoot waterfowl by the hundreds from sneak boxes on the Chesapeake.
