[QUOTE="Sturgell, post: 962855, member: 3376"] In my effort to be extra cheap I made some homemade snake shot. First thing I did was grind the rim off of a piece of brass to make a tool for cutting wads out of thin cardboard. Then drill out the primer pocket so you can use a punch to push out the wads. [attach=full]72154[/attach] [attach=full]72155[/attach] [attach=full]72156[/attach] [attach=full]72157[/attach] To make a decent cutting edge on the brass lightly chamfer the inside and outside of the case mouth. [attach=full]72158[/attach] Chuck it up in a drill or drill press and cut out some wads, I found 1600rpm cuts the best on my drill press. After 10-15 wads push them out from the rear. [attach=full]72159[/attach] I loaded 357 brass with 4.5 grains of Bullseye and a standard primer, seat two wads firmly on top of the powder charge. [attach=full]72160[/attach] [attach=full]72161[/attach] In 357 brass with the charge I used it comes out holding the same amount of shot as the Speer shot capsules about 110 grains of #8 lead shot comes out to a little over 100 pellets per round.
