I followed this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ4IBv0Bg9U) and created a reloading "block" for shotshells (even made two holding stations for loading shells).
I have cut and sanded the crimps off of the shotshells as well as de-capped them via the hammer/nail method.
I plan to load them with black powder tomorrow but I need more. The Gander Mountain nearby sells nothing but substitute so what there can I use? Nothing FFFg I assume.
I will be using 1 ounce loads of shot (need to pick some up tomorrow too).
I have some copper plated BB's, would that work?
The video says about 60 grains for a good load, my shotgun I will be using is chambered for 3 inch magnum shells. Is there a 3 inch equivalent load for black powder? How high of a load can I load without turning it into a bomb (not that I would try it, just so I know how high is too high).
