Maidment78 Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Good morning all, I have just managed to get hold of a very old pinfire shotgun. Question is that now I have this new toy is there a best practice on making the ammo? I have a cople of muzzleloaders so powder and wads, cards and caps are fine, the thing I am not sure on is the cases, pins (daft but what are they made of and can you reuse?) If anyone has any advice or good books it would very much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maidment78 Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Quick Update, decided the best way to go is make some so I have bought a lathe and a load of brass and will start working on this over Christmas. Gun is nicely balanced and I am hoping to have it ready for the final day of the season in January. If anyone is interested I will diary what i do and post this (if I do not blow myself up) in the new year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
