Well cordell, it is a plan, anyway. I'm really looking forward to getting started and I've been studying various manuals to get my basic understanding down pat. I plan on starting out reloading only what I shoot in league, 12 gauge Federal Gold Medal hulls, 1 1/8 ounce shot, 209A primer, Claybuster equivalent for Fed. 12S wad, and 19.2 grains Red Dot, which is the charge my #32 bushing will drop. I also got a digital scale to check my shot and charge weights periodically, something recommended to me by others, as well as in the manuals. I will stick with only those reloads for now, since that is all I shoot in skeet; and I don't plan on reloading any hunting rounds yet, mostly because as I see it the cost of components to retool for game bird loads and/or steel is not justified by the infrequency of my shooting those rounds. I may branch out into 20 gauge eventually, though.
I shoot weekly leagues starting in late April/early May, ending around late September/early October, and lots of other practice sessions throughout. I shoot a Remington/Spartan SPR 310 O/U (the old Baikal) mostly, and a Mossberg 930 occasionally. I shoot at a club east of Canton, Ohio.
Since I am in just the beginning stages of this process, I'll take all the advice I can get. There is a lot of information out there, and I plan on studying as much as I can, and look forward to getting started.
