📋 About This Mod
This clean and simple mod introduces all special ammunition types which were previously unavailable to craft in the game.
If a recipe is not listed here, then it is already available to craft without the need for any mods, or the ammunition type simply does not exist.
It's also highly recommended to use this mod alongside my other mods, which include the ability to craft Gunpowders, Primers, Cases and Lead.

All of these ammunition recipes can be found inside the Reloading Bench, under the "Special" menu.
The Hand-Loader Perk is also required for all special ammunition recipes as of version 1. 01
And all the original default Hand-Loader ammunition recipes (such as JHP) have also been moved to the "Special" menu inside the Reloading Bench. This greatly reduces recipe clutter and properly puts all special ammunition types into a single category.
