Hey /k/, I've been poking around the internet for a few days trying to find a reputable guide on making 12 gauge ammo for a homemade slamfire shotgun. I figure birdshot is best for my purposes (defense and bird hunting), do any of you happen to have a "how-to" or know a good place for me to narrow my search?

Its blackpowder tho, dont know if smokeless powder would work for that
Literally Google.
Do you have a press? Hornady makes/made a plastic cheapie that will load a few rounds. Craigslist/garage sales will have old single stage presses for cheap.
From there, you need hulls, primers, powder, wads, and shot.
Deprime, prime, add powder, add wad, add shot, crimp, shoot.
Done.
European 12 Ga. Reloader here, firstly you don't really need a press. A cheap press drill will let you load any shotshell both with star crimp or round roll crimp.
Powder burning rates are among those for pistol/revolver ranges.
You can pick literally shit tons of hulls at clay range, look for the most recently shot without rust.
Also AMA I guess

Everywhere I look I see people sperging about specific brands/production runs of shotshell hulls because they're all different on the inside. Does it really matter?
