I'm not sure which forum this should go. Off topic? Black powder cartridges? I'll put it here because I guess this is where the shotgun stuff is.
People take pride in making their own stuff right? Cast your own shot/boolits, Reload your ammo, shoot your own dinner...
Why not roll your own hulls? I've found very little info on this on the interweb, except for a video on youtube where some kid was making his own shotshells from paper to fire in his paper shotgun. (uses gunpodwder and copperhead bbs, actually pretty cool)
I remember making model rockets in shop class. We took a length of kraft paper coated in glue and wrapped it around a dowel rod. When all was said and done, it turned out pretty sturdy.
I suppose one could make such paper tubing, gut the brass out of old hulls and make new ones. Or maybe lathe out some wood instead of brass?
Am I crazy or am I on to something? Thoughts? Ideas? Your turn.
