hey guys and gals.
i was fiddling around in my gun/loading dungeon and came across an old lee loader that somone gave me for 7.62 russian. i never used it because it seemed kinda strange and not that safe to load it up and smack it with a hammer.
but i decided to try to use it... and its kinda fun and not as dangerous as i thought. but i saw in the box where they had sold them for 16 gauge.
now the tool I have ill say is at least 40+ years old. (copyright 1966 on the paperwork) so is the hand tool for the shot shells still viable?
my last experence with hand loaded shot shells was from some that my neighbor gave me when we were squirell hunting. I got a pocket full of shot for my trouble from improperly crimped shells.
ive never reloaded shotshells but i do save the hulls from all of my shotguns as every reloader should. and it would be nice to have more shot options than just 6 and 7 1/2 for my sweet 16s
are these things worth it or just a pain in the neck for shot shells.
