Jay, I would love to do a shoot or hunt, sounds like a great idea! I am using all antique hand loading tools as well I have most of them for 10,12,and 16ga. I have acquired some From eBay and gunbroker and inherited some as well. I didn’t have a capping tool(hasn’t arrived yet)for 10ga so I used the wood push dowel/de-priming tool to push down from the inside of the case to seat the primer, I agree with you and don’t think it is a good idea or recommended to use any kind of hammering to seat them.
