Modern pump-action designs are a little slower than a semi-automatic shotgun, but the pump-action offers greater flexibility in selection of shotshells, allowing the shooter to mix different types of loads and for using low-power or specialty loads.

The first slug barrels were cylinder bore barrels ( no choke ) outfitted with rifle sights, which are far better suited to accurate shooting of still targets than the standard bead sight used for shooting small, moving targets with shotshells.

Due to the low cost of modern plastic shotshells, and the additional complexity of reloading fired shells, shotshell handloading is not as popular as cartridge handloading.

) from different manufacturers are usually all interchangeable, shotshells typically are loaded for particular brands of shotshell cases ( called hulls ) only with one specific brand of wad, shot cup ( if used ), primer, and powder, further increasing the complexity and difficulty of reloading shotshells.

Reloading shotshells is therefore more along the lines of precisely following a recipe with non-fungible components.

Where shotshell reloading remains popular, however, is for making specialized shotgun shells, such as for providing lowered recoil, when making low cost " poppers " used for training retrievers before hunting season to acclimate hunting dogs to the sound of a gun firing without actually shooting projectiles, for achieving better shot patterning, or for providing other improvements or features not available in commercially-loaded shotshells at any price, such as when handloading obsolete shotshells with brass cases for gauges of shotshells that are no longer commercially manufactured.

In contrast, shotshell presses are most often configured for reloading just one gauge of shotshell, e. g., 12 gauge, and are rarely, if ever, reconfigured for reloading other gauges of shotshells, as the cost of buying all new dies, shot bar, and powder bushing as required to switch gauges on a shotshell press often exceeds the cost of buying a new shotshell press outright, as shotshell presses typically come from the factory already setup to reload one gauge or bore of shotshell.

Likewise, the price of shot for reloading shotshells over the last several years has also risen by an order of magnitude, such that lead shot that was readily available for around $ 0. 50 / lb.

) Due to this increase in the price of lead shot, the economy of reloading 12 gauge shotshells vs. just using promotional 12 gauge shotshells only starts to make economic sense for higher volume shooters, who may shoot more than 50, 000 rounds a year.

In contrast, the reloading of shotshells that are usually not available in low-cost, promotional pricings, such as. 410 bore, 16 ga, 20 ga., and 28 ga., becomes more economical to reload in much smaller quantities, perhaps within only 3-5 boxes of shotshells per year.

Reloading. 410 bore, 16 ga., 20 ga, and 28 ga. shotshells therefore remains relatively common, more so than the reloading of 12 gauge shotshells, for which low-cost, promotional shotshells are readily available from many retailers.

Here ’ s an important distinction: punishment was inflicted on people who had been shown to break the law ; at least you had to have proof the law was broken. But, Foucault argued, why have proof?
