The tools are simple and the loading is easy...
I am using Mag tech brass cases and priming with l/p primers. With brass cases yu have a thinner case and no base wad so you can put up to 3 1/2 drams of B/P in a case with 1 1/2 oz of shot and still fit on a top wad. You do need to use 11 ga wads to fit tightly in the thinner cases. All ading is done with hand tools and simple ones to boot. A wooden dowell with a metal insert takes care of de and re prining and serves to seat the wads. The over shot wad is held in with DAP or in the old days water glass. My dove loads are 65 grains of FFg and 1 1/8 oz of small shot and are fired in my Husqvarna Le Fucheaux action double gun. The turkey loads are 85 grains of FFG and 1 3/8 oz of shot.
Lends new meaning to go smoke a turkey.
