I always liked brass case shotgun shells aesthetically. It makes your shotgun look like a big bore rifle.

[@2guys1cliplol]

I mean technically with slugs it is 😂

[@Alphascrub_77]

This could be a great skill to pick up now days. That skill being reloading your own shells and ammo and becoming as self sufficient as possible in that endeavor.

[@nightraven836]

Especially with ammunition prices nowadays

[@sharpandloud3422]

Like ammunition, reloading components are hard to come by and over priced. It’s one thing to know how to reload, it’s another to have the supplies you need.

[@CitizenNoFDABE]

i don't know why, but watching these videos really makes me content. It's like they're handloaded with a positive vibe.

I love seeing old school black powder firearms still being used and looked after this is the kind of thing that can be lost through time it's good to see you preserving the skills and techniques with these really well done videos. Thank you for the knowledge

[@sr633]

I lived on a marsh as a kid. I used ten 12 ga. brass shells and reloaded them. Kids today miss out on so mush fun and memories.

[@Roguecjb]

I wish someone would look at me the way he looks at brass shells..

I just found a box of Alcan 10 gauge brass shells at a gun show & this video was exactly what I needed. Thanks, Larry!

[@rtmacabio]

Old school reloading, I love it. Went duck hunting in Oregon many years ago. One hunter with us had a modern 10ga. to reach the geese that were flying high above our hunting area. After about 6 shots of high brass he decided that the punishment was not worth the advantage. He walked back to his truck and brought back his old 12ga.

[@Armadurapersonal]

I don't even own guns but love these videos

[@balzarini51]

[@stalkeraroundthecornner3111]

Aleksandr Kamarov I only own 4

[@That_NJ_guy]

StalkerAroundTheCorner Hamsteram only 4. Lol. I got one and want 15 more.

[@stalkeraroundthecornner3111]

Miguel Hernandez I own Glock 19, AR15 ,a home made pistol fit to use 45ACP (but adjusted to use .22 cuz I love raging hornet ammo), and a 12. gauge

[@That_NJ_guy]

StalkerAroundTheCorner Hamsteram all I have is an ar-15. I live in NJ and I'm under 21 so there is no way to get a handgun (not even private sale) unless someone gifted one to me (I want a glock 17L. No one can carry handguns in NJ but guards and police so conceal ability doesn't matter). I had to go through a bs license system just to be able to get long guns and we still have "assault weapons" restrictions after all that.

[@kayvalencia2223]

When I was young I used to watch a ton of movies. And I wish I could remember the name, but the main character of this show I loved always used brass shells and ejected them over his shoulder. One time he threw them and accidentally broke a window that was intended for a stunt double to jump through later on. He gave an impromptu sneer and kept on the script.

[@jamesdobson709]

I love that this channel show you gunsmithing etc using primarily hand tools !

[@jackmeyers7805]

I picked up a Parker 10 gauge exposed hammer side by side from 1873 about four months ago and have been assembling original tools to prepare my own shells for the since. It's on my bucket list to take down a monster Texas boar with it some day and hopefully, with the know how in this video, it'll come just a little bit sooner. Thank you mister Potterfield

[@mrbear8771]

It was Pleasure and knowledgable to watch you at work. Just like how it's made on the discovery Channel.

This is truely amazing, along with paper shells. Until 1960 we had paper. Its insane. This country has gone so far down hill, a man needed his gun. Now you have to be specially qualified to even own one.

[@oscarfrederickmaita5072]

That's an ridiculous caliber with an expensive way to reload it! *I'll take 4 boxes*

[@HelaNyx]

It kicks like a mule but is fun to shoot is what my dad says but you reload like that for all shootgun shell so not that expensive

[@Tuton25]

@@HelaNyx not really, 1-1/8 oz of shot with 3-1/4 drams of black powder would be very mild shooting in a 10 gauge. More mild than standard 12 gauge target loads.

[@BWGPEI]

A very cool bit of history demonstrated in your usual fine fashion. Thank you!

[@clintgolden9192]

That lifter action is cool. I have an 1883 Parker. It's a great gun. Barrels are a bit rough so I don't feel bad loading up steel for duck hunting. It is a blast to shoot.

[@whiskeyjoe40]

Another great and informative video Larry. I would bet that you've forgotten more about firearms and gunsmithing than I know. I always enjoy learning new things from you, because I know that I'm learning the right ways and processes for whatever the task happens to be. Keep up the good work Larry, it's very much appreciated by individuals like me who have a desire to learn from the best.

Midway USA sells these brass casings for 1/1$, a pretty good deal if you ask me.

Do you have any idea what a fabulous pastime this would be for a retiree? It's better than therapy! You're taking your time to restore something into good working condition that can literally be slung over your shoulder and turned into multiple deer steak dinners! It's perfect! Listen to the radio, brew some iced tea and you're good to go! Love it! Love it! Love it!

[@larsbliss2728]

The good news is that RCBS makes a sizing die in 12ga. The bad news is they don't make it in other gauges. I have loaded them with both black powder and smokeless. I am still trying to work up a load using smokeless though, getting close and will finish that project some day. For now BP is fun and works well enough.

Absolutely beautiful shotgun there. A good, old American side by side. Never gets old! And great for clay shooting.

This takes me back. I had 12 brass 10 Ga.shells. Go shoot them all and then go back in the house and load them up again for more fun outside.

[@bilbobaggins9420]

This is the most gloriously American thing I've ever seen.

[@aydon1276]

This is my first time ever seeing someone reload a bullet. I knew the rough idea, but it's a lot more time consuming than I would have thought. When the apocalypse comes around I'll be sure to conserve whatever I can find, lol.

[@Smartass-pl3nx]

This man seems like the best guy to hang out with.😅

[@robjohnson920]

Larry, why don't you market a simple 10g resizing ring for brass shotshells? Most of us that reload all brass black powder shells would be very content with just a simple press mounted sizer ring the shell could be pushed into with the ram and tapped back out with a small mallet and a dowel. The rest of the process is easy, but making a sizing ring or die is beyond the capabilities of most reloaders.

[@ekthimios]

Most comprehensible technique

[@christopherdilustro4960]

[@robstirling3173]

Noisy neighbour had a drumkit for his birthday!

[@enderkittygaming2348]

I fill to the top with equal depth powered and shot. My shells are old and thicker walled, been reused many many times and I try to replace worn out ones when I can find that right type of shell. I also load stainless bb's and not lead shot, the shotgun is so old that I use it strictly for home defense and only take it outside once per month to test fire and clean. Yes, it does the kind of damage you might expect, to splits a steel drum wide open.

[@Subgunman]

The Magtech brass shells are designed for black powder with a large pistol primer, I have seen videos of fools boring out the primer to accept 209 primers. NOT SAFE. If you what brass that takes 209 primers and smokeless powder, Rocky Mountain Cartridge Works custom makes brass shells from solid brass rod, not from thin extruded brass tubing. They can machine the brass to most any chamber length that is not standard. They are not cheap but are well worth the money.
