Thinking about starting reloading shotshells, looking for advice on equipment, guides, feasibility, etc... Pretty sure I don't even know enough to ask the right questions.
Shotgun shell reloading
- Thread starter TRS
- Start date
First off lead is stupid expensive. Unless you are going to shoot 15 or 20 cases a year it's not worth it. Powder is at an all time high. Primers are hard to find. .honestly if you are shooting skeet or clays.buy in bulk when you find a good deal. If you still want to buy the MEC 9000
Have never reloaded Shotshels but would be interested in a Thread about it.
Win AA hulls...Rem sts and supersport are the best hulls to load
I reload pistol rounds.
No experience with shotgun shells.
But I’m willing to learn.
I'll fill the Trager with ribs. It dont take long to load a few 100. I have 500lbs of shot. Let me get some powder ordered if I can find it
My interest is in making custom loads of various shot mixtures, and just plain experimenting. In my youth I was given a Spanish made muzzleloading shotgun and very vague instructions which I survived.
As I appear to be delving deeper into bullpuppery (almost 150 rounds today) I have a need for a much higher volume of #2, #4 buck, 00, and 0000. For bird shot I'll keep buying Winchester/federal bulk boxes at Wally world.
I'm most likely only going to need 2 3/4 and 3", I'm aware components are high and hard, so is it a good time to buy used equipment??
Don't shells use pistol powder? I think I've got 4 lbs. of universal clays. Definitely got bullseye, unique, and titegroup.
Yes sir some of it is dual.purpose universal clay . Titegroup. Longshot .will cross over
I’d be the wrong guy to ask. I load 1 guy at a time in the field old school style. Bushcraft 4Lyfe yo.
