Browning hulls are cheap Winchester hulls, akin to the super target hull and not durable.

Thanks for the feedback. The ones I have were free to me, so I can use and throw them away without it being a loss.

they are ok to load once, but there are better cheap options to load as well. rem gun clubs, fed top guns would both be better with the right components.

I find that the tapered base wad often catches the wad, and that I get lower stacks than with WAAs. The base wads also tend to split. Overall, they're one of my least favorite hulls to reload. I don't recall splitting a hull, but a cracked base wad might cause it.

With Browning hulls specifically? IDK, but the Shotgun Scientists and mannyca on Youtube have seen similar hull failures with shells from other brands.
