One option is to buy action proving dummies.
These duplicate the size, weight, and balance of life ammo.

Basically, every things the same up to the point where the shot is to be put in, then you have to count and stack the shot by hand, then run it through the crimp stage.
One "speed-up" for the shot is to make a "shot counter".
This can be as simple as a trough in a wooden or plastic block that will hold exactly the number of shot you're loading.
Simple fill the trough, then load into the shell.
For ultra cheap loads, you can dispense with buffer material.
