I'm going to have the gunsmith that will tap the two extra holes see if he can fix the stripped out one. As for using primers out of loaded shotshells I had the same idea but I do shoot shotgun some, generally for squirrels. Heck I have some shotshells still made from paper I could surely take apart and not miss. As for primers I figure they will be back before hunting season. The hoarders can only buy so many.
