Looking for Once Fired Federal Shotshell 3" Hulls

[BallisticBen]

Does anyone know if or where I can purchase some once fired Federal "Black Cloud" 3" hulls. Heck I would even buy some new hulls if I can find some. I've been using the maroon Federal 3" hulls but would like some black ones, so I can load different size shot and be able to tell the differnce just by glancing at the hull color. Any ideas?

Check gunbroker. I just bought some 3" remington hulls last weekend.

Another site with 3" hulls but don't list Federal:

Ben, what you propose is a good idea. BUT ... if you want to quit hunting down 2 different hulls, just get the "hull stickers" from BPI. They are small circles available in different colors that stuck on the base of the hull. Very easy to identify different loads. You can even take a Sharpie and write on them if needed. They stay on well, but are not hard to remove when you start to reload the hull. Might be just the thing.

Once again Hidalgo, you have provided me with some very useful information. I am surprised I haven't seen them on their website. I'm on there all the time. In fact I just bought some Nickel Plated F Buck shot from BPI. I can't wait to try it out on a coyote.

Tarey,
Thanks for the information. I plan on ordering some stuff from Grafs now.
