I was in a survivalist state of mind when I bought that thing. I reloaded about 100 shot shells with it. I keep it just in case.
Last I checked you can buy shot shells cheaper at Walmart than the cost of components.

I just bought 200 Federal shells in 100 round packages from Walmart. I think it was about $20 per hundred.

With some of equipment that I need to have out in the fields, a Snake Charmer in 410 would be nice, but it becomes more junk to carry.
I always have a 45 on my hip. If I could get a scabboard that would fir my tractor, maybe a long gun would work.
I do have one of those Canadian made Winchester 12 gauge shot guns, maybe cutting it down to minimum would create usable weapon.

you just need to load the right thing. most lead and 3 1/2 steel loads are cheaper to make.

Shooter,
I am working on the load, but the snakes can hold the target for me to see if the load works, they don't have arms.
Thanks,
Jerry

(I LIKE shotguns-there,I've said it!)
Last one is black,holds 8 rds.Cylinder bore 20".
First one is Belgian-made;has "Sweet" as part of the label.
There's been others,but not as memorable.
But I only handload for rifles & handguns....

I'm not shooting SG much, but when I do it's my reloads from 25 years ago and my reloded slugs and buckshot with the odd smattering of Malaya loads.
I use an old Mec 700.

I hav several 16 bore guns and reloading for them is necessary.Not only are 16 shells more money...but you cant find everything you want.Handloading allows me to have anything I want in a 16.I also do 12 20 and 410...although I dont have a 20 at the moment and thats just sad... ..Robin

Box, I don't know if you are aware but you can go over to 16ga.com and for $20 or so join their low pressure reloading group. They test and publish 16ga loads for everything from 2.5" Damascus guns to 1 1/4 Turkey loads, bismuth loads etc. RD

My brother is really into 16 guage, he refinishes them, loads for them and then goes hunting with them. I think I know the reason why. :)
