A: Sure thing! Older shotshells needed high brass heads to help the hull from splitting apart under intense chamber pressure, but modern polymers have made shotshell hulls a whole heck of a lot stronger. Powerful shells still have high brass heads, but that is really more of a cosmetic feature than anything else. I mean, it can help a shotgun to feed and extract a little more smoothly, but that's kind of about it. In effect, these shells' hulls are more than substantial enough to withstand full chamber pressure without brass fortification. Estate just saves production costs by reducing the amount of steel and brass plating on each shell.

A: Thanks for reaching out Rachel! I wouldn't say this ammo is low recoil by any measure, although I do believe you'll find it manageable. Low recoil shotshells advertise that feature on their packaging. You'd ideally look for shells with 8 or 9 pellets of buckshot and a muzzle velocity around 1,200 fps. Remington Managed-Recoil ammo fits that bill perfectly, and you should buy it if you get the opportunity. I can't promise when we'll get more low recoil 12ga in stock, but I do hope you'll check back in with us soon!
