Default Shotgun Reloading for dummies ?

Those pouches look like some kind of supplement you add to water !

I guess it's a European product. Neat though, and available pre-loaded (in the jar) too according to the comments.

Storing ammunition in a sealed glass jar……. Dummy is correct!

Even the finished product looks like crap.

Likely one of them thar tactical characters. Had to look at that powder charge a couple of times to believe what I saw there, wonder what that stuff is....
Could likely stand some extra wad material in there to finish the column height properly for the crimp. Also looks like a pricy way to do things.

That's also what I saw.

That is the same type of powder that I have found in some Gamebore loads.
An over shot wad will fix those crimps right up

Loading ammo is easy technically, it's precision that's a little more difficult.

Loading with precision and SPEED is difficult at times unless you are using a progressive press, but you can handload high quality hand ammunition , without a machine it takes a bit though.

With shotguns, precision isn't really an issue, like it is with rifles, safe reliable loads are the priority , and with sub gauges like the 28 gauge and 410, the cost saving are huge . I reload 410 and 28 gauge for skeet, and loading saves me about $3000 every year. But loading for 12 gauge, especially using pre packaged components as shown in the video won't be a big cost saver, and using the tooling shown would be very slow.

I use a Lee load all, and load 16 and 12 guage, 2 3/4" and 2 1/2". loading is slow but it's a pleasure. I may load 1 box of shells in an evening.

I load 10-12 boxes per hour on my MEC 9000 presses, but I load 5000-6000 rounds per year of 410 and 28 gauge. For me it's about saving a lot of money.
