Buckshot was made legal on public land back in 2017 or 2018 here, though ive never hunted public land. We have some really close shots id prefer not to use my rifle for. Reloading for the big shotguns is almost as fun as shooting them. I was just thinking the otherday how fun a 4 bore would be since you could stack .490 roundballs in even layers of 2 as buckshot in one.

Its simple and works, ive seen some smaller versions of a resizing die like this made back in the day for 12 and 16 ga I think Lyman made them? You could probably have it fluted or made 1.5" in diameter as its quiet hefty if you drop it on your foot thats a trip to the ER .

Actually the diameter lets it sit in a arbor press like in the last picture if it was made smaller in diameter youd need something brace it. I have wondered if aluminum could be used to make a lighter version.
