3D printed shotgun shell cutter. Reloading

Post image

Bought this from a guy on a FB reloading page and it works a treat. Got me thinking about previous posts on here regarding 3D printing, and posts about the difficulties in sourcing various components here at the prices being asked.

There's definitely an opportunity there for people to (relatively) easily and cheaply make things locally that are either unavailable or prohibitively expensive.

Making 'poor man slugs' always seemed like a bad idea to me, so i like this. Do you need to put more powder in for 00/slugs? Also how are you sealing them? Little circular plasticard cutout and wax on top?

I haven't needed to increase the charge to get minute of pig at 30m, but I haven't tweaked these for accuracy too much- that's load development for another day. Sealed with an overshot card cut from a milk carton and a roll crimper.
