Looking for help with reloading 12ga with cremation remains

[hfx123]

I've seen a few posts on here regarding this but mostly instructions on how to. I shoot a ton but don't reload.

Curious if there is anyone in Alberta willing to do this for me?

Grandfather passed recently. We had a love for shooting as he raised me and taught me how to shoot. Until recently we would shoot something or other everytime together. Covid/funeral/5000km away blah blah is all f'vked up and I am having some remains left with me in order to fulfill a partial wish of 'put me up under the tree with my dog'

This dog I bought for him when he retired and he walked on the same private beach behind the house for 17 years with him and this is also where we shot a lot. I have a new fancy shotgun and would like to send a portion of him off my own private way over his beach while the rest will remain with his departed pup.

I want to do brass so I can engrave them and just have a small token of ashes added and then I can blast when I am back home in the summer haha

Thank you for anyone who leads me in right direction

Can't help you with that (sorry for your loss) very much but replacing buffer granules with ashes might be doable. My wish is to have my ashes put in my powder horn and hung up on a special tree out at the hunting camp.

I see Apoc69 has some old zinc hulls. Good luck.

Can’t you just reload a shell the normal way and after you apply the shoot just sprinkle some ashes in there before you crimp???

Just find someone who loads. Very simple to do, fill the shotcup with ashes instead of shot, drop in an overshot card and crimp. They may not cycle a semi but they will do the trick.
