So, I have my Dad's old single shot .410 bolt gun and a small handful of very old shells. Use it from time to time on skunks and other critters. I can see running out of shells for it and I do not have any form of shotgun loader or experience with loading shot shells over the last 30 years.
I am wondering if it would make sense to roll my own with some kind of brass shell, maybe 444? Would be reusable without a shotgun loader. I would assume that a powder charge under a cardboard wad and a shot charge above it and sealed with another cardboard wad and maybe a little candle wax. Now if I could find some brass .410 shells, I would be set.
What do you all think??? Bad idea?
