I know this is an old topic, but with the new addition of occupations, I felt like this badly needs a revisit. Under the old "average Joe" rules, yes, reloading shotgun shells and bullets is a big NO. BUT, since we have a hunter occupation (btw, don't get me started on calling that a "occupations", most hunters I know have day jobs, I'm a white-collar office jockey and I still hunt regularly), it seems only natural that they'd know how to reload shotgun shells at a minimum. Anyone that hunts regularly, whether it's duck, deer, clay pigeons or even paper zombie targets; after a while, reloading just makes financial sense. A 15 minute Youtube video and a Lyman's reloading book is all you need to get started, and I'd figure you could find that book at the shooting range or gun store. Smokeless powder and lead shot could be found at the same locations. I know coding for shells and casings lying around on the ground would be problematic, but I think it's been mentioned that for every shot, there's a chance that a casing could be "recovered". That way as you shoot, it would simulate picking up the empty shells/casings. Just throwing this out there, feel free to thumbs up or pick apart. Maybe as specialized recipes get added to occupations, this could be one of those things that hunters know how to do at the start, maybe have a reloading press in the house that you start in (since it's supposed to be your own).
