Loader etc etc etc

Done this more'n a thousand times. Are ya talkin 12 ga first?? If so..best loader for the money is a Mec 600 Mark V or 600 Jr(16 20 or 28 too). Go to ebay and buy one cheap. I sell all I get for 40 bucks..The sizemaster is a better machine also by Mec but lots more money. get it with the 302-118 bar for 1 1/8 oz loads. prefer the new Remington STS shells for reloading. AA's were the best at one time but the STS IS more like the AA that the new AA is....most any primer..Winchester 209s or Nobel sports... Red Dot powder (or 700X Clays... blah blah blah). The correct wad according to a LOADING MANUAL.. correct size shot for the practice you will be doing .and a little time practising. If ya don't get the owners manual with the used press you can get it from Mec's site on line. I hope ya have a scale as approx 85% of shotshell reloaders don't. The bars use bushings for the powder charges and they never throw what the chart says..ALTER the bushing to throw what the book recommends.. Then practice....both reloading and shooting. When ya practice shooting...remember to always look at the bird. Don't act like the typical American male shooter and think you were born knowing how to shoot. Remember to LOOK at the bird. Let the little ballistic computer between your ears do the calculations..It actually will seem like magic..and oh so much cheaper than buying factory ammo....even that cheap crap they sell at Wally World. Your reloads will actually be of higher quality than that stuff and under 4.00 a box to boot
