I am thinking of trying to make them for 8ga perhaps by getting the heads turned up from brass then an infill of sawdust mixed with pva glue to make a paste for inside the base. How they were originally made? I have so far come up with a big zero. Last edited by bavarianbrit; 01/21/22 07:23 AM.

In the US we have a supply of Industrial empties that can be altered to fit a shotgun. Are they available where you live? If not I would have full size brass ones made and they will last just about forever.

They will last forever, too. Rocky Mountain Cartridge has made many brass shotgun cases for me. http://www.bakercollectors.com/
