I think you need to find a good reloading book for shotgun ammo.

Check out this book, I use it and has everything you'd ever need.

"...find a good reloading book for shotgun ammo..." Yep. Go buy a manual. Just like rifle ammo, you have to work up the load for your shotgun.
"...2 3/4" skeet loads..." Use target loads in your manual.
"...3" goose..." You might want to re-think 3" loads just due to the felt recoil. A 2.75" load of suitable sized shot will kill geese. In any case, the shot size is important.
"...And for a cheaper price:..." Midway USA doesn't ship to Canada.

Once again Sunray, showing your lack of factual knowledge.
You use the loads for shotgun directly out of the book....no need to work any loads up for scatterguns.
Different strategy from rifle loading entirely.

Wtf sunray, you tell others to read manuals and books when obviously you have never read one yourself! No one could be more full of bad information than you!!


For shotshell reloading stick to published loads and recipes, they work, and work well. Don't listen to dumray as his advice is not only poor and wrong 99.9% of the time, but quite dangerous if anyone followed it.

Check out a few posts back (Shot shell reloading 12 gauge) . . . with the cost of components it is hard to beat the price of 12 gauge factory trap and skeet loads.
