I will agree with the others regarding MEC shotshell loaders. I would never own anything else. Whatever you get, avoid the LEE LOADALL shotshell loader like a case of the plague. It is absolutely the biggest piece of junk ever made. I know because I had one.

I will also highly endorse Remington STS shotshell hulls. They are the easiest to reload, give the best the crimps, and last longer than anything else I have ever used.

As far as powder goes, I use Alliant's UNIQUE for all my shotshell loading - 12, 16, & 20 ga. There may be better powders for specific applications but, for all around use, it can't be beat. It also works well for most handgun loads and I use it for reduced loads in my .22 HORNET rifle.

While I agree that Unique is a great powder (and I do use quite a bit of it myself in shotshell & handgun loads), I feel that if one is just reloading target shells, there are other powders that will do the same thing for less money, i.e. you will get the same velocities with smaller charges......always looking to save a buck or two.
