i have about 5000 estate 12ga hulls once fired. i hate to toss them, so if i can load them up as a substitute for the federal plastic gold medal hull, i can use a 7/8oz receipe in them with the 12SO wad. am i good to go? any advice on the estate hull?

you can use what ever federal recipe you have and it should be fine.
the plastic is good for 4-5 loadings just keep in mind the paper base wad can come out after a loading or two so you will want to cull the trice fired hulls for any that show signs of the base wad cracking or separating.
btw..whats the going price for once fired per 500 for them these days?

not much[V]
2/5 cents a piece maybe???
12ga is the least expensive once fired hull
NOW if they were 28ga you could possibly get 10-12 cents a piece if the right joe saw them and wanted them
Check out reloading here on GB search for Estate hulls there are 3 auctions up and running now that will give you an idea of there value if they end up selling
