Indeed, and in addition you can create loads that are not available for sale anywhere. For example, I created a 3" .410 load for doves and quail that holds .73 oz. of nickel plated lead. The closest thing to it on the market is Winchester's 3/4 oz. lead loads. In testing over the last three years I find the nickel plated shot loads kill "deader" than the Winchester plain lead load . . . i.e., less cripples, more dishrag hits.

I roll crimp them in Cheddite 3" hulls, with Cheddite primers. The cost savings over the standard Winchester loads are huge. And, they debunk the theory that long shot column loads don't pattern well. Patterns are excellent.
