Unkel,
Think about this... a pressure "excursion" or spike that a metallic cartridge gun would handle without a burp can open a shotgun up like a banana.
J.J. Bucher, a little know-it-all twerp I knew in high school, found that out the hard way when he started playing "Mix & Match" with components and powders in his 12-gauge.
The end result? A shattered left forearm where a chunk of his double-barrel hit him when it erupted, plus other assorted, but lesser, injuries.
Shotgun handloading recipes MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY!
K80,
Please note that my prices were high-end guesses. I haven't had to buy shot in years, since I went in on a truckload shipment with a bunch of people I knew. I still have about 150 pounds of 7 1/2 left.

Beware the man with the S&W .357 Mag.
Chances are he knows how to use it.
