    A lot of the reason for reloading is about doing something interesting. I can’t imagine any reason for using the stuff we’ve been seeing here as a sole way of loading shotguns short of running ahead of the Zombie Apocalypse. OTOH, it looks like it might be interesting to try.

    About a year or so ago, I got s similar set of odd tools that S&W made around the turn of the last century for 32 S&W cartridges. I loaded a dozen or so just to prove I could, but haven’t used them any more since... I use my “modern” Lyman 310 tool instead!

    For a box or two a roll crimper and a nail will take care of it .

    Looking at this because I like how compact it is.
    Anyone actually mess with one of these or anything like it and have an opinion about it (about itself....not compared to X other press)?
    There are other presses available, but this is really small...seems to be perfect for a space Ive got in mind in the shop.

    That is a home made shotgun press. Instead of using a hammer as in a Lee Loader, this gismo uses a lever. The other parts appear to be crimp formers. Such would be ideal for a guy with a single shot.
