Stated out with Lee Load All which is perfectly adequate for decent reliable shotshells. When my wife joined me shooting and we shot more, I could not keep up. I bought a Mec 9000 from eBay. Like all have said, buy a shotshell reloading manual. Loads are very specific regarding components. Lots of good recipes here on the wire as well.
Many to perhaps most UK/EU shotshell powders are still single base. I'm transitioning to Vihtavuori powders in their single base 300 series (N310, N320, N330, N340, 3N37, and 3N38). If forced to derive a very "loose" (as in ballpark) correlation (strictly as to intended service suitability, and absolutely not as a guide to charge weights) I'd ...

I reload on a Mec Grabber.. I reload 12ga. using Winchester AA's hulls, with the old Featherlite recipe and Wadcutter CB0178-12 wads and 7/8 oz. of shot.. I reloaded a whole bunch (about 2-3 cases) about 2 years ago.. They were put through my size checker back then... I"ve culled the tight ones t...
I would like to begin my 12 gauge reloading with a 7/8 oz load with either Alliant Extra-Lite or Clays powder. I would like to begin my wife's 20 gauge reloading with a 3/4 oz load and either Unique or Green Dot powder. I have now decided to wait on buying the reloading equipment until I have all the supplies in hand.
In the Shotshell reloading fraternity, and from personal experience, (about 25 years with shotshells), The Lymans Shotshell Reloading Handbook is considered the BIBLE of shotshell handloading. No other book is more complete, or has the huge variety of information that these books have.
Factory ammo for this gun had a little too much kick, so I bought a Lee Load All and started reloading her a lighter load. Below was my testing on the range of different loads: Alliant Green Dot (3/4 oz. load) (#8 Shot) (CB1075-20 Wad) (Winchester AA hulls) (Cheddite 209 Primer) ….. shot from Stoeger Uplander Youth SxS w/ 22” barrels ...
I think I finally got the MEC 9000 squared away. It’s a fairly simple machine, but does have a bit of a learning curve. I just loaded 100 rounds in about 20 minutes. not counting hulls, I think I load a box for about $6.00. Or 1/2 price of factory rounds. Low recoil 7/8 Oz loads. 13.7 Red Dot. Th...
I'm just about to embarq on my first venture into Shotshell reloading. I am curious as to how those of you who reload prep your shells prior to reloading. I think Krazy Kajun said something about washing them in Shootin' Cheryl's bathtub, but I want to remain married to Bea Itchin'. She ain't NEARLY as understanding about such things.
So I recently purchased some MagTech brass shotshells that I want to use for black powder reloading. I have all the components but I've never reloaded shotshells before, especially not brass ones. I also don't have a shotshell press. Can I move forward with just a lee dipper set, nitro card and o...
