Anyone reload full brass 12 ga shells?
The only ones I've been able to find are the Magtech ones

But they use Large Pistol primers, rather than shotgun primers. Is this a disadvantage at all?
I just got a reloading manual for the 12 gauge, but not done reading it yet. A lot of information on the web for reloading 12 ga, but not as much on the full brass shotshells.
Are there other full brass shotshells on the market that I just can't find?

Can I ask why you are using full brass hulls? Then maybe I can help you a bit more.

Try ballistic products they have Reloading Brass Shotshells manual

Only reason for using them, is because it reminds me of my Grandpa. He used brass shotshells only, and used to reload everything by hand.
I wouldn't be loading too many of these, and would only load them for Upland Bird, and small game loads.

There was a series in Handloader Magazine (Two issues, 266 & 267) that covered it pretty extensively.
Here's part 1 (.pdf).

Apparently there is an older version from 1969, too (.pdf).
