anyone loading shotshells with vintage components?

I am curious if any member has successfully developed shot loads using vintage components. IE powder, nitro card, fiber cushion wads, shot charge, overshot card and crimp. I am not looking for high performance or productivity. Just want to play around in my cave and use time, maybe even go the route of black powder and brass cases(already load for a couple of cartridge Sharps and a Ruger old Army)
I digress, the focus of this query would be the loading of traditional components into modern plastic(of which I have in abundance) and smokeless powders and a fold crimp. I ask this question as it is becoming difficult to procure some of my favored modern wad columns.
Is it possible to develop a load using a known powder to propel a calculated total weight of ejecta(powder,wads and shot) Or am I venturing into dangerous ground.
thank you

Vintage and antique are qualitative words that don’t mean much. In my State one can get antique plates for any car that’s only 25 years old.

So to some I not only use vintage components but antique ones too.

possibly I misstated I was referring to components available to the reloader, before the advent of one piece plastic wads.
BTW i have been a classic for 45 years.
thanks much

Here again, in the vein of the current discussion. I have no access to pressure testing apparatus, What are the indicators of pressure to the intrepid experimenter, difficult extraction, flattened primers, etc.
I realize my question flies in the face of existing mandates of adhering to published data.
I just have the time and resources to venture on seldom trod paths.
Again thank you for your time

to not belabor an expired equine. I happened upon BPI's website, it appears that under normal conditions they have everything i would need. But I saw many out of stock notices. Apparently there are shotshell reloaders out there that have bogarted all the booty. I ask now, where would I go to procure the requisite wad punchs and wad stock? Your assistance is appreciated.
thank you
I shall search the web

once again I am here. Having done a search for resources, I have found almost everything I will need thegunworks.com, trackofthewolf.com, logcabinonline.com and precisionreloading.com
I will update as my adventure continues.
Thank you
