I remember when the Federal LE slugs started coming with clear hulls, and the conflict it created with the specialty rounds that were also coming the same way. Federal was sympathetic, but wasn't going to change as the other guys were beyond their control. Folks using transitional LTL shotguns noticed it most. Especially under trunk lids on night shift. There were mishaps.
Curiously, when Federal launched their own line of LTL, they used clear hulls in their SSS (skirt stabilized sack) round. Other rounds too, IIRC. They figured it out quick, and the blue hulled LE slugs followed.
Buying from a single manufacturer and a single line helpds. I've lost track of what Winchester and Remington are doing, but Federal seems to have figured it out.
No matter what, check, recheck, and check again. With a buddy.
