Cool stuff man. I have about 20-25 brass shotgun shells I got at a gun show years ago. I've never done anything with them, but maybe I'll give it a try just for fun. Thanks for the post.
Circle Fly makes 11 gauge wads for exactly this. Example I do this with 10 gsuge brass hulls. My wads are 9 gauge for a tight fit. Source, Dixie GunWorks. Gorilla Glue in that container is $23. Gorilla Glue also has a relatively short shelf life and next year it will be as solid as a rock. A tube of curing silicone say for bathroom tiles is like $8 and it will last you forever. You can reuse the same partisl tube about 3 years into the future.
I’ve never shot full brass shells. How would you say they compare feeding reliability wise to the standard paper and plastic wall shells? I’ve been thinking about loading and reloading for a hungry expensive 10 gauge magnum semi auto shotgun. How many times would you say you can reload these shells? Do you have any ideas on how to get slugs to fit securely and concentric?
@@Kashtukprimal ok, I do know the old Winchester 1901 lever actions using only brass my grandfather said something about those feeding better than paper, and plastic came out way after (I don’t think he ever tried it) but then again that was lever action. Something about the paper having just a single wrinkle in it and that would be a jam. Today We have shotguns like the Browning Gold 10 a smooth shooting semi auto beast(it’s still a 10 gauge but the softest you could say is a 10 could ever be) this is a far stretch from lever-action though. Have you any idea how many loadings a single shot-shell can withstand? I may experiment with a small batch to test the reliability in a semi auto gas shotgun.
Yes, you can use wax. You could old school it with bees wax if you want. Just melt the wax, pour it in, and then pour it out. It should seal the shell just fine.
If you have a drill press you use that to press in the primer. I don’t like the idea of using a hammer. Just put a wood dowel in the hull to back it up, put something flat in the chuck, set the primer on the pocket and press it in.
Very cool video. I’ve always been interested in brass shot shells. Awesome explanation.

Very cool thanks for the video!
Thank you for the video! Do the shells need re-sizing after shooting?
Not if you’re using them in the same gun.
@@Kashtukprimal Thanks for your answer!
very cool 12 gauge shell brass its better than the shotgun shell plastic

These shells old school shells and were designed for side by side or break open shotguns. I’ve never tried in pump or semi shotguns

Dont think black powder would work to good in a semi .
I cant find any of those anywhere.......... is that new brass? and where did you get it?
Old box I got from midway
You should see the double barrel Husqvarna with mule ears i have with Greener locking system glad i found this video are these 12 gauge? Rick.
Can i use wax to seal the top or should i use something stronger?
Yes, you can use wax. You could old school it with bees wax if you want. Just melt the wax, pour it in, and then pour it out. It should seal the shell just fine.
I want this brass cartridge 16 bore, how can i get it sir??
Magtech makes them

Clear fingernail polish works to seal wads.
Have you tried loading slugs?
No I’ve never loaded slugs
Great video
Did he intentionally position the camera so that we only see his lower jaw with all that black crud in his teeth?
No, He intentionally positioned the camera so he could teach you something for free
