Videos - Loading shotshells without a press

[duelist1954]

I've put together a three part video series on reloading shotshells without using a reloading press.

The first video shows what I call the "Nail & Dowel Method" which uses simple items that are probably already in your home to reload shells:

The second video covers loading shells using a Lee Loader kit:

The final video shows how to load shotshells using antique reloading tools

Good videos. I wish I could find a Lee Loader for 410 that didn't cost as much as a press.

I got some 44-40 brass to try as soon as I get time.

If you're just a bit handy, you can make your own tools. I made all of these except for the steel resizer. Oh, I didn't make the crimpers (not shown) either.

Don't bother looking as they don't work too well in the 410. I collected every ga and length shotshell loader lee made and the 28 and larger gauges were easy enough, but the 410 required very specific fitting of the components and was just a hassle loading those little hulls one at a time.

Here's the simple video I made demonstrating how to use the Lee Load-All II to load 12 gauge slugs that I cast with the Lee slug mold. They're surprisingly accurate.
