far right is missing a bit of shot, I have 2 shells from the beggining of the cycle that have shot & powder with no hull, is there a way to disengage the shot & powder from cycling/dumping? I wanted to tilt it back out of the way, I just know if I am going to end up wasting a bunch of powder & shot if I do so.

You can take a knife, scissors, or pliers to pry open the crimp. You have to be careful as it is easy to damage the hulls.

dont mind wasting the hull, they were all free, I picked them up after I shot them, they are 5cents each if I buy them, so far its ok, biggest gripe is putting in the wad
