I'm a cheapskate. I'm a major cheapskate because I'm often short of cash. I've got two or three shotshell reloaders hanging around, and I'd like to start loading for at least two gauges (16 and 12) I'm not in an area with a large amount of reloading supplies available... and It'll be some time before my rig is good for a trip to boise.
Powder is available, don't know where I'm going to get shot, but the big bugaboo is the shot cups. Is there a low tech solution to the shot cup? I know very well they didn't have plastic shot cups when any of my shotguns were made (cep'n the semi-auto) and each shot cup runs a different pressure.
I guess what I'm saying is is there an 'outmoded' method that might work better with less resources? I've burnt probably eighty shotshells in the last few days... I seriously need to start reloading.
