Where can you buy black powder shotgun shells?
"There is no such thing as a black powder shot gun shell, for shot guns they loaded it the same as a regular musket only instead of a single ball they put multiple smaller balls." The above answer is wrong. At least after 1870. Early shotgun shells during the 19th century were filled with black powder, switching to smokeless powder in the early 20th century. Black powder is still used today in blank shotshells, and is available. Look for Black powder shotshells on google. Black Powder Shotgun Shells " The conventional shotgun cartridge is designed for black powder. It was invented around 1870 when black powder was the only kind of gunpowder that anyone had ever heard of. They didn't even call it "black" powder.

The empty hulls were available for loading by the user. Originally, black powder shotgun shells were paper or all brass. By all brass, I mean they were brass from the head all the way to the end. Paper shells only last through one firing. The all brass shells can be reloaded over and over again; the all-brass shells supposedly don't wear out. There is a lot of information on the net about loading this type of shell. They are available from a couple of manufacturers, including MagTech. You could try looking up places that sell to "Cowboy Action Shooters." Those types of outfitters are the most likely to have what you're looking for. Goex is a black powder manufacturer and also makes black powder shotgun shells. To buy black powder 12 ga. shells look up Buffalo Arms on the internet.
Why did the colonists hold their fire until the British were almost upon the redoubt?
The gun used at the time was a flintlock and they only had one shot when fired. That means they had to reload the gun with powder and shot when they used it . If the soldiers they faced still had loaded guns and they didn't that meant they were vulnerable to getting shot. Holding off to the last minute was smart.
Grains of powder in a shotgun shell?
It depends on the gauge and length of the shell, but common 12 gauge shells have between 25-45 grains of powder in.That range is determined by the wt. of shot/slug and the speed you want to shoot.In other word do you want to shoot trap at 1100 with 7/8Oz. shot or a goose upward of 1300fps with 1 1/4 Oz of shot.
