This guide debunks the myth that high brass shotgun shells are inherently more powerful than low brass shells. Drawing on historical context and modern material science, it explains why the longer brass on some shells is a marketing tactic rather than a functional necessity for modern plastic hulls. The information is presented with high authority by the GUNBROS channel.
This video from Civilian Tactical, featuring a representative from HSL Ammunition, details three types of ammunition that should not be reloaded: aluminum casings due to softness, steel casings because they are hard on equipment and often use Berdan primers, and low-brass shotgun shells which are difficult to sort and less durable than high-brass alternatives. The expert emphasizes understanding casing material and primer types for safe and effective reloading practices.
