Gary, reloading is half the fun of shooting these old SxS's. After you do it for awhile enough different supplies are accumulated so just about any type of shell can be reloaded without running around trying to find the shells you want. Plus, you'll know what pressures the shells are. And you'll have the satisfaction of breaking clays or shooting game with your own ammo. I know a lot of guys don't like the mess and clean up afterwards, but shooting a 130 year old damascus SxS hammer gun with some of your own roll crimped paper shells, fiber wads, and black powder that go boom with a cloud of smoke is about the most fun you can have with your pants on. I usually save them for shooting skeet on a calm night under the lights - my fellow shooters whine about the smoke when they shoot. I tell em " you think you got it bad, try shooting it."
