I watched this video years ago. I have a lot lot more experience loading blackpowder muzzleloaders and making blackpowder buckshot. So, looking at it again with fresh and experienced eyes, this video is very very good for making blackpowder shotgun shells. Very good job sir.

Notes: 1. If you drill a small hole across that 5/8-3/4" doweling where you want to cut off the hull, stick a #11 XActo blade in the hole at a slight angle and turn the dowel. The plastic will peel off and trim the hulls smooth and square at the same place every time. 2. 3f Goex is too hot for shot. Go with 1f and you will have the square load set up my DuPont in the 1830s. 3. If you use a hard card ( 1/8"-ish thick) over the powder to act like a piston you do better with your load. In some old guns plastic cups will make a mess of things. For sure use at least 3-4 more hard cards on top of one or a fiber wad. 4. Use of fiber wads alone is not why shot donuts. This is caused by acceleration. (Back to #2.) If you slow down your acceleration, shot tends to not donut. ( why your square load of 3f is too hot.) Other than that, this is a very good how to. Good show.

Very good video. Shows how easy reloading shotgun hulls, especially 12ga. are. I like BP, and have loaded shotgun, rifle, and pistol center-fire rounds, as well as cap & ball & muzzle loaders.... As you stated, if reloading fired hulls for the shotgun they were fired in, should chamber OK... If buying fired hulls, need to size the brass... Lachmiller Shell Saver works well... I use a handheld primer tool, like a nutcracker, although have had only a few primers go off pounding the brass down over the primer.... mainly .38... My supply of BP is 30 yrs old, and I've had to dry it out several times, with an incandescent bulb . Additionally, I like to do binary loads - fancy term for a dribble of smokeless over the primer, to set the BP off properly....Initially, I measured BP as carefully as smokeless...after a while, simply filled the case to the top, crammed a bullet down to compress the BP, and it worked great.... Can use a brass hull base as a primer holder, to use your 12ga as a muzzle-loader. With BP, prompt cleaning is necessary. Don't even wait to get home...with break-action single shot & double shotguns, the barrels should separate from the stock easily....place the barrel muzzle down in soapy water, run the rod & rag up & down, to get the corrosive salts neutralized. A proper cleaning at home would be great.... I enjoy firing BP in modern revolvers.... however, the action tends to get gummed up. Simply take the grips off, drop in a gallon of diesel, work the action after a day or two, repeat. ENJOY !

"Not like you'd wanna use black powder in one of those anyway" Funny Tudenom, I'm actually here for exactly that. I was thinking of getting one of those muzzle-loader barrels for my mossberg 500, and realized that if I really wanted the smoke and flame and smell of BP I should just load up normal shells with BP instead of paying another 100 or more dollars on a special barrel.
@tedwilliford72184 жыл бұрын
Usually you can find an older Lee Loader kit at a gun show or on the internet for $15 to $20 that has all of the tools needed to reload shotgun shells. A word of caution - if you study a reloading manual you begin to realize that reloading shotgun shells is like baking a cake and you have to use the correct components and the combination (primer, powder, wad, shot and crimp) depends on the type of hull being used based on the manufacturer. Selecting the correct components can be a challenge. Even when loading with black powder the components are important. Also, black powder is different for pistols, rifles, shotguns, and cannons so you need to use the correct granulation (Fg, FFg, FFFg, etc). It will generate high pressures if the wrong granulation is used. If shooting an old twist-steel barrel shotgun it is possible to blow up the barrel because the steel strands making up the barrel may have developed internal rusting that weakens the barrel so it is best to make that one a wall hanger display piece. Additional note, under no circumstances would a load of BB's be wise because without a proper wad and buffering material and shot cup you could banana the end of the barrel. BB's do not compress like lead shot, there is no "give" in the shot column. I am not an expert and provide this input based on my reading of several reloading manuals and study.

Nice video! One thing to take into consideration is to avoid the use of potentially sparking tools such as the (presumably) steel funnel & steel rule. A plastic funnel would be a better alternative, & either a plastic or preferably wooden rule (or thin piece of wood) as a levelling tool would reduce the chances of getting your fingers burned. Very interesting & informative video though, I very much enjoyed it! 😀

Your primer seating dowel should have a small relief hole in the end to allow for primer clearance. Once in a while the base wad gets compressed and without the hole the dowel is striking the tip of the primer. Otherwise, thumbs up 👍.

You may have heard about the cut down rounds for shotguns they are around a inch and a half long and come in every type of round to. without the wadding powder and shot doesn't take up much room.

Instead of a punch I got a 5/8"dowel and put a deck screw into the center, then ground the head off to punch out the caps. It speeds up the process. Don't have to search for the cap with the punch or nail. I put a little tape on the dowel so it just fits. You could use a 3/4" dowel and sand it down to fit as well. Hope this helps someone.

Good high quality video, but if you are open to it I have a couple of suggestions. The first suggestion would be to add more safety warnings like reiterating every now and again to make sure the primers are detonated before you try to remove them and reminding people how important it is for weights to be exact and for you to do the proper calculations on powder equivalencies , you know just small things that could have big impacts on people's safety other than that you're doing a great job buddy keep up the good work very interesting stuff here.

A large *pin punch* would be better than your *drift punch.* It's cylindrical, so it won't expand the primer pocket if you hit it a little too hard on the last bump; also, it's got a little bump in the center that will hold the punch aligned with the primer's flash hole. Most likely a 3/16 punch would do the job. Also, after you trim the crimp, your shells are 2 1/2, since the measurement is of the uncrimped hull. Cut off 1/4 inch, and you've converted a 2 3/4 into a 2 1/2 (but that's correct size to feed in a 2 3/4 action when not crimped as your reloads are). For old fashioned non-plastic wads, you'd load an overpowder nitro card, usually 0.125" thick and a snug fit in the shell (or barrel, for a muzzleloader), push that down flat on the powder, then a thickness of fiber cushion wad sufficient to give the column height you want (more critical if you're star crimping than for uncrimped glued-in or roll crimped shells with over shot cards), then shot and either a fold crimp (like most modern factory shells), over shot card plus roll crimp, or a glued-in over shot card like those you make here (which, as you note, don't require any shotgun-specific tools).

ronald lippert That funnel he is using is Stainless, Stainless steel is highly unlikely to build up static, Plastic funnels would be more likely to build static. Even if it did, one would be very hard pressed to get a static charge to ignite 2F or 3F granulated powder. I suppose 4F would be a little easier for static to ignite but even then it would be extremely unlikely, static typically will only ignite micron sized black powder particles. Also stainless steel will not spark from striking or friction, nor will aluminum, only carbon steel or Iron will do that. Paper is nice though 👍

I've never reloaded paper shotgun shells myself, but from what I understand they were standard at one time and people reloaded them. I expect the loading procedure is the same, but it would be best to go to a shotgun reloading message board and see if you can get some tips from an old pro. He might save you some grief! The glue is almost always ejected out with the shot but every once and a while I'll have a small amount left on the inside of the shotshell after firing. I soak the fired shells in soapy water after a shoot to stop black powder corrosion, the glue peels off easily after soaking for a few hours. This won't work well with paper hulls obviously, but you should be able to scrape any remaining glue off.

That's true. Most reloading components can be purchased and shipped in Canada as long as you use a courier and not Canada Post for explosive materials. You have to do your homework though and make arrangements ahead of time with the seller and the courier. Some couriers require MSDS sheets to be placed on the package (you'll have to arrange this with the seller), some require someone to sign off on delivery, and most charge extra fees for dangerous materials. Canpar seems to be a favorite for shipping these sorts of things, but you have to make sure they have a depot in your town (most small towns don't). If they can't catch you at home them they will return the shipment to the seller.

U sure do love your metal reloading equipment lol.. It's all cool till your friend static electricity comes by for a visit and he fucks your shit up lol it's probably just me that's a little iffy about metal... Given I'm not a reloader so I'm sure you know more than me and are cautious in all the right ways

I have an old double barrel side-by-side Henry 12 gauge shotgun and it for black powder this was very helpful but my question is if you have this shotgun at home for protection and you hardly go to the range and shoot it how long with these shells last in your home or how long can you keep them without shooting and to be dependable.

I have some shells that have fired no problems up to 12 months or more after loading, but I live in a relatively dry environment. I suppose moisture would be the biggest threat to reliability since the shells are not well sealed. If you live in a coastal or tropical environment with high humidity then it might be something to worry about. But if they're stored in a dry space then you should be good for years.

Browning auto 5 is the only semi shotgun I know designed for black powder. Check out my quick video for an example. Nice to see another simple black powder handloading video. Keep it up

Also, Remington Model 11 Shotgun will do percussion powder, and may have been used in its earlier days. I just wash the barrel!

could you do a follow up video with a shot on paper pattern? I think your load would throw an even pattern. I've seen some black powder loads on youtube that would throw donut shaped patterns, at best. Thanks for the vid, nice job.

Can do. I should be able to hit the range this weekend and I'll post the results.

Does this work if you have a lavender-blue shot shell and punch? *_Seriously though, thanks for the video,_* you make it look very easy. Most clay shoots around me are over farmland, they only allow fibre wads to prevent littering. Would a home made cardboard wad / cup work? and have you tried making any?
@MrTudenom7 жыл бұрын
I've never tried myself, but I've seen a video where a guy punches out cardboard wads from a banana box using a 3/4" gasket punch. The box is a bit waxy and is made of heavier than standard material, so I expect it works pretty well. It's probably better to go with a traditional fiber wad, but if your shoot is next week then it might be an option.

Oh yeah....lavender blue is perfectly acceptable, as long as it isn't mint green. Mint green is for scallywags, delinquents, and reprobates.

I wouldn't be that sure when it comes to a phase of "crunching" the black powder, during the pressing it against the bottom (with this wooden stick, at 10:27) - black powder (unlike the smokeless) is VERY sensitive to friction, so it might explode when the grains grind with each other. The piece of cloth/felt would have been safer than a cardboard, to press the powder.
@MrTudenom4 жыл бұрын
You're right, it's likely not that important to compress the black powder and you can probably skip that step without too much harm. However, black powder is not that sensitive. Can you provide a documented example where friction caused by compression has caused a premature detonation? Reloaders and black powder shooters compress powder (with much more compression that I'm demonstrating) many thousands of times a day. You could count that to possibly many billions of examples of compressing powder over the centuries without premature detonation. If black powder was that sensitive, all black powder shooters would be able to recount many personal examples. Yet, I have never met one or experienced it myself, ever. There might be some evidence of premature detonation when it comes to anvil launching, but I expect it's much more likely that sparks created by the placement of one anvil on top of another was the culprit. Or possibly dangerous handling practices, like smoking while handling powder.

Blasting black can be pressure sensitive, it's made that way, but for firearms not so much.
