I just watched an hour long video on hand reloading. Very exacting. Very precise. And then you're video "how to reload a shell on the way to Walmart while bouncing around in the back of a pickup". Guess what? Same end result. You never cease to amaze me. Strong work sir.

Will work but you won’t get as controlled of a pattern. Also with break action SG’s as long as you have the shell base for the primer you can actually load them like muzzle loaders even without the hull

Warning to prospective new reloaders: Never use any metal that might create a spark in the vicinity of your powder charge. As Andrew demonstrated, a DIY wooden tool, brass, and aluminum are all good. Also, please keep primers in the original packaging that is designed to keep the primers separated until you use them. A stack of primers can be dangerous.

I made a homemade shotgun reloading kit after watching some Dave Canterbury videos.

Just learned something else from you. I’ve done it once before at a survival class, but you simplified it. I’m a black powder shooter, primarily historical smoothbore. Here’s something I’ll share. If you don’t have the proper wads to keep the powder and shot in place, you can break off a piece of bread and use that. Just make a dough ball and drop it in, and tamp it down. Keep up the good work.

I've used a grass wad.

In a situation desperate enough to need to reload fired shells found laying around, how likely is it that someone would have new primers, powder and shot? If you know in advance to plan on needing the components to reload…just bring a ton more factory made ammo. This IS a cool skill and I love the video. I just don’t understand when this would be done. You’d either have loaded ammo, or you would have nothing with you.

100 primers vs 100 shotshells is a big difference in weight. I think it has application,but its a scenario where youre straight bullet farming some muzzleloader stuff, some pirate stuff. We sit on the shoulders of giants.

@@gantz4u It won't just be the 100 primers that you'll need but the 100 shells worth of gunpowder, 100 shells worth of shot, and 100 leather caps

I'm kinda sceptical about the effectiveness of this. A single shot charge card doesn't seem enough to give good compression. Considering you have primers power etc I'd suggest maybe making a wad from half a wine bottle cork or something similar. I'd love to see a gel test comparison. Thanks for the video.

My wife's brother made and did reloads. All the goodies. This was outstanding. Thanks Andrew

Very practical lesson and a single barrel shotgun is very reliable and simple to use, clean and operate. Great video.

I use to reload yrs ago for skeet while stationed overseas in the mil. But I've never seen any you tuber/ survival/ bushcrafter ever make a vid on this, your the first. You mite want to explore this more, as there are more ways to do this. Even for buckshot / slugs loads for self defense or big game hunting. Thx for the vid Andy

It probably should be said that you use the same volume of powder and shot, not the weight. It's the a old school way black powder shotguns can be reloaded. Nice shot, Andrew.

So basically you just trued a shotgun round into a mussel loader… brilliant idea 💡 thanks for sharing and have safe weekend 👍

Bravo Andrew, thanks.

Very Informative , Another Great Video Thanks 💯💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

Andrew that was a very nice tip that I will definitely use in the future!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

You are truly amazing. But if it ever came down to having to do this when the world ends I think I’ll just use the last store-bought shell on myself 😂😂😂😂

Outstanding channel for bushcraft and survival skills. I learned something every time I check back on your channel. Thank you very much. I greatly appreciate your skills and proffesionalisms.

Top shelf instruction, as always Major. 👍👍

when times were tough and I was using reloaded shells for hunting I would use spent primers as shot

Knowing how to reload shotgun shells is a good skill to have. But as far as "reloading in the field for survival" I would be far more inclined to just carry more shotgun shells than to have to carry primers, powder and shot as well on the off chance I might need it. However as I stated before, it is a good thing to know how to do.

I was given a box of jobber reloads a couple years back. I didn't know much about them or the guy who did it. But was assured by the guy who gave them to me that they were awesome and chronographed well.Took them on a fun range day and lined up a 2 liter bottle of water. At 20 feet the 1st shot knocked the bottle over but didn't even penetrate the plastic. Knowing something was off, I checked my barrel. The cardboard overpowder card was still in there. It was made with regular cardboard and cut very poorly with flat edges. I never tried another shell. Not saying that it is a bad idea to plan for reloading, but I will never use another person's reloads again. It seems to me that a bag or 2 of factory wads bought at the same time as the shot would be a cheap way to safely reload.

Tho most don't carry reloading materials with us,this is a great option to get ammo if u run out in an emergency situation,it's nice to know I have this option to use reloading ammo. A true survivalist would have all this stuff.

You need an old Lee Handloader for 12G.

Very fun! Always great ideas and creative. Thank you sir. Happy belated Thanksgiving!

XLNT Tutorial Andrew,This is something to keep us in the know.H&R break action,NEF/ Savage o/u,etc. Very handy to have in the arsenal.I imagine I could side load it into my 870,Certainly wouldn't attempt to cycle a few of those rounds in the field. Many Thanx for your time,Cheers!

Cut off the crimp it would cycle fine in a 870/590 for chamber loads and cycling from mag tube. Just make sure it’s packed tight if you use black powder it’s even safer just clean afterwards.

Shot mixed with epoxy just before you add to the shell (use a paper sleeve to isolate from the shell hull) and you have a frangible slug.

Another reason everyone should own a shotgun: simplicity and ease of reloading shotgun shells. I've had my eyes on a shotgun for a while but I need to figure out where to put it as I have very limited space for firearms.

Little common sense thing here: when filling the shell with grain from the loader, just hold the loader level where you can't spill, and slap the plastic shell over it. Then flip it. (invert it) and let gravity do the work, rather than risk it spilling. You could do the same with shot, but only if you cap/blocker is secure.

Very interesting video Major Andrew 👍🇺🇸

Reminds me of the book "The Five Fingers".

Definitely awesome survival trick. Worst thing is the shot will be slightly deformed due to the thin over charge card, so the pattern won't be as good as the same shell but with a felt overcharge wad or modern plastic wad, but still 1mil% better than not having shells.

You can clamp on some split shot fishing weights to braided fishing line and crimp that into a shotgun load. It’s great for close and longer distance shooting as the weights will all stay on the line.

Sir, good DIY kit, Skipper! IIRC, my paternal grandfather had antique factory-made black powder shotgun reloading stuff. Some of the like is offered on E Bay. Levering primers in vs. pounding them in may be preferable. I have done a fair amount of reloading of .45 ACP & .30-06 with a Lee loader & ordinary smokeless powders. I used fixed measures to size powder loads like you do here to make sure that I never miss-loaded. Of course, if you are loading full case brass shot shells you will want to watch out for primers or cases starting to pooch out, a sign of too much powder. I was told that black powder tends to be more explosive than smokeless, & so kicks more than smokeless per unit measure.

Really impressive major ...thanks .

Neat info as always Col.

Now this is an awesome idea!!! Useful as well! Love it !

I saw the same thing on David Canterburys channel. But still informative

I use regular copper coated bbs for air guns as shot and use 1oz powder & 1oz shot both measured with a shot measure and over powder and over shot cards cut from old cereal or 12 pack boxes and seal the over shot card with melted wax or tallow or a hot glue stick. I also carry lead pumpkin balls in case I need to hunt larger game like deer. Been doing it like this for over 40 years with my old Eastern Arms 12 gauge single shot only I also made the investment and got a box of 12 gauge brass which is what I usually use for this method.

Cool Video. I didn't think it was so easy to reload a Shotgun shell. Thanks Brother for making this Informative Segment. Have a Great day.

Great skill 👍

This is an awesome informative video! Thanks man.

Very cool! Thank you!!!

Once again outstanding

It should be noted that on some hulls the primer protrudes past the base wad of the hull, and a tubular something or other would be necessary to seat the primer in that instance, or I guess one could bore a hole in the end of the stick/dowel used to insert inside the hull and drive the primer home. Thanks for the great video

That looks relatively easy. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for the gem for my mental . Kudos

Thanks 😎

I love watching the different methods people use for 12g but one thing was skipped- Let's say I was putting together an "emergency kit" for this- what would be the best AND smallest tool to remove the spent primer?

Good stuff

My wifes boyfriend was into reloading. Every time he would build one and fire it, I squealed with excitement.

nice work

I really dig your videos man. The only thing I can disagree with is the over shot and over powder cards. You have it a bit backwards. Hear me out. You want a softer(shock absorber) if you will over your powder to help with that initial charge push. Then shot and then a thinner over shot card. This will help greatly with patterns. I personally have never used leather and will be trying it asap. I do however like cork for my over powder cards. Compression of the powder seems to be effective and it serves as a cushion. Thanks for the content you provide and I’m looking forward to more.

Good video

Thanks.

Everyone should own a break over shotgun!

There is an old army manual with this and improvised shotguns among other similar items.

How do you get the primer out

I don't have a shotgun, I'm not a survivalist, but I find this very interesting

Gloves are a good idea in case that primer goes off in your hand! That shit hurts!

I’ve never seen the “off the shelf” measure that you have (I’ve also never reloaded a round so I’m here to learn something cool lol) so excuse my ignorance in asking (because I’m not sure how it works) but instead of using a stick is it possible to use the measuring tool as a ramrod? My thinking here is little pieces of the stick falling inside the shell (not sure if it matters or not) just something I was curious about. Thanks for another awesome and informative video 🤙🏼

Just remember when using black powder to reload like he is demonstrating, you can only shoot 2-3 rounds out of your modern shotgun before it needs to be cleaned because that powder will eat up your barrel!

Got it 👍

You had to learn this one in Afghanistan, because this is how they reload EVERYTHING!!!

Good video sir, how can you change the shot of a shotgun cartridge?

Спасибо!!!

Can this be done for 410 and 20 gauge too?

That shotgun looks like the first one I bought an H&R pardner love the way they look I shot thousands of rounds for that thing. What about a slug? How is the powder measured for slugs?

What kind of watch are you wearing?

you can get a hand roll crimping tool for 20 dollars on the internet. Then you don't need to use expensive leather patches, just a overshot card. (edit: test)

100 grains of powder not 100 grains of shot. It a volume measure ser for black powder.

I have been shooting reloads like this for 40 years if you back the load off to 75 to 80 grains you will get better patterns .more is not all ways the best for black power

Break action shotgun = modern day blunderbuss

Not being picky and I know this is a Field loading, not exact, but how does that tool know the density of the powder you're using and weight to a precise 100 grains?

Is there a way to crimp the plastic down, so it would cycle in an 870? Like maybe use a metal tool just got enough to melt the plastic? Playing with fire, though..

Great video! I made a couple reloads but, have not tried them as of yet. I only used 50g and steel BB. Any opinion of performance? Thanks for another great video!

You WILL damage your shotgun barrel. This is a one shot deal. It's gonna be like taking a 100 tiny files and cutting a scratch all the way front to back. Steel shot requires special plastic wads to protect your barrel.

If you did not use the proper wad in your 2 experimental shells, take them apart. Somebody else could try to use them and ruin a perfectly good bore years from now. This isn't a joke. Ammo like this is potentially like left overs from a war ruining something years after the fact. In this case your family members gun most likely.

Reminds me of loading a musket somewhat.

Wait; we can't just stuff rocks and random bits of metal down the barrel like a blunderbuss??? This finally explains how I've gone through twelve shotguns!

A "C" clamp, light duty, presses primers in perfectly. Compresses powder & shot too. It's not hard to carry.

Do not forget to pour hot water down that barrel to prevent corrosion (rust).

very good. now i can re-purpose spent poly shells...tomohawk.

Great down and dirty video! Your recipe of 100 grains of powder and shot by volume, is this for 12 gauge? If so, what is the recipe for 20 gauge?

So not trying to nitpick things but if your carrying an measure then how would you over charge the round with smokeless powder ? I mean why wouldn't you just measure it out the same way I'm confused now!
