Is Estate ammo ( 7.5 , 8 ,and 9's ) good ammo for Skeet, Trap, SC ?  I think it's made by Federal and you can find it sometimes on sale for $55.00 a case shipped .
Thanks in advance.

It's been good for me. Don't know how good those hulls are for reloading.

yes it is gtg. we used in in my club for a few years.....

we have had some of the -cheap- members reload it with federal data with reported good results, but the hulls feather earlier than the premium stuff....

Thanks for the replies . Not gonna reload it . Is 1145 fps a good velocity for Trap ? Shooting a O/U .

1145 fps for 16 yard trap is fine.

The slower speed will have less recoil that the same shot weight in a faster load.

Estate uses two different hulls the one style has paper base wads the same as the low end federal hulls. They also have cheddite hulls. I don’t load cheddites in 12ga but a lot of people do. I do load cheddites 16ga hulls.

I bought 10+ flats of estates over winter for 40ea from a local place. They aren’t my favorite or even close to it but they are gtg.
