makeshift shotshell 'press'
Tools
A collection of items improvised for field reloading of shotshells. A plank with a hole cut in the center, a medium-sized nail, and a whittled dowel are used to seat wads, decap primers, and (carefully!) reprime hulls. Powder and shot are measured with a cut-down shotshell hull. The opposite side of the plank has been shaped to allow for roll-crimping of the plastic hulls. There's no provision for resizing, so reloaded hulls will fire best in the firearm they were fired from.
