Looks that way, Cheddite used 4 stars on the heads. That even looks like a real brass head. I wonder if they realized their fibre inner base wad could be dangerous for reloading.

Could this be old ammo?
My recollection is that Estate used Cheddite hulls before ATK (Federal) bought them.

The French make very good guns and ammo for them. Check out Tunet, Mary and Viri loads.

Could well be. After all, some of the recent Winchester shells are made in Australia with Cheddites.

Have had good results with Estate in both the lead and steel loadings for years.
