A while ago someone talked about cutting down shells on a table saw. I took a couple of 2x4 tacked them together, cut them back to 2.5" and drilled the appropriate sized hole for a 12 guage shell. With my jig I can cut down 14 shells in one pass. I did a garbage bag full in a couple of hours. With that many you can "When I roll crimp it's shot and toss" as Paul said.
I use single stage MEC set up for black powder. When I get to the crimp stage I take the shells out and use a roll crimp. I like the antique roll crimp tools, especially the French ones, they are a step up from most American made ones.
