“Your majesty! The Canadians are requesting more brass shells. They said something about making a list for Geneva?”

Can you reload those more than the plastic hulls?

What tool(s) does one require to reload such cases?

u/Snipez9999 Jul 29 '26

Yes they are very easy can use hand tools only quite effectively if needed, and yeah they use large pistol primers

Brass shotgun shells have always been great!

I love to make them into 577 Snider and 577-450MH.

You need 24ga shot shells to make 577 snider
