As Craig said, these will never wear out. They can be found, vintage or new. I have located 16 gauge, 12 and 10’s. The wads are readily available and inexpensive. Simple hand tools do the job.

Glad to hear you’re taking the road to “do it yourself” . I reloaded hard for years and when I stopped competing at skeet and trap I sold my set of PW’s . Then years later when my grandfathers W&C Scott 10 gauge came into my possession I ordered a 600 JR 10 gauge with a short kit and the next thing you know I was again loading all gauges 10-410 and not to long after added the 8 gauge . I’m probably more anal about loading then most folks in that I buy components that I use often any time they’re available or at a good price . I’d rather have more than I need than not enough .
