You might want to consider buying a second hand Lee Load All shot shell loader.
They come up on a regular basis and are usually very inexpensive.
I bought one off of Trade me a while ago for $80 including powder, primers, cases, wads and over 5kgs of shot.
The 12ga Lee Hand Loaders you remember as a kid also regulary come up for sale for around $20-$40.

I like to collect these hand loaders and they do work very well.
You may also want to use the Nail and dowel method.

You can modify this method to use plastic wads.
