While reloading 28 ga this weekend, I found a RED 20 ga Winchester AA hull.

The color Yellow was added to the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufactures Institute (SAAMI) standards for 20 ga in the 1960s

SECTION II – PROCEDURES SHOTSHELL MISCELLANEOUS: BODY TUBE COLOR SAAMI VOLUNTARY PERFORMANCE STANDARDS

43 MISCELLANEOUS: BODY TUBE COLOR

The color yellow has been reserved for 20-gauge ammunition. This ammunition shall have a body tube that is primarily yellow. Yellow shall not be used for any other gauge/bore shotshell body. No other recommendations are made as to the color of service body tubes for other gauges/bores.
 
It was mixed in a box of 28 ga AA hulls and I did not notice it was 20 ga until it did not fit into the 28 ga. deprimer/resizer collet :doh:
