Due to the main focus of this site on the collecting and shooting
of C&R and military surplus firearms in their collectible original configurations,
sporterizing topics (ex. "how-to sporterize", or "hey, check out my cool sporter") will not be permitted in these fourms.
Thankyou,

Actually, once you have the components (used Winchester AA trap load hulls always worked well for me, card and fibre wads are available from places like Circle Fly. etc.) it is not all that difficult - less hassle, and much less expensive equipment, than needed for reloading rifle and pistol ammo. A Lee "Load All II" is quite inexpensive and easy to use - here's a link to the listing on Midway's website - currently $31.99 on sale: "Load All II" at Midway If you want to keep buying ready-loaded BP shotgun ammo, try:Powder, Inc. - ($11.50/box of 25 - not sure how this compares to what you've been paying...better check on shipping cost, though!)
