One press for shotgun and rifle?

[Scott Bear]

I was wondering if there is a reloading press out there that will load shotgun shells and rifle/pistol rounds?

I heard somewhere you could get an adapter for your rifle/pistol press to load for shotgun shells?

Thanks,

Scott.

At one time(not so long ago), RCBS made a set of dies for reloading 12 ga. on your press, I've never seen them in operation, but you may be able to find a used set out there, or contact Huntington's in California, they may be able to come up with some.

Lee Classic Cast, RCBS Rock Chucker, and a couple or three other presses out there have 1 1/4"-12 pitch threads on them that will fit shotgun dies. If you can find the dies. The standard Rifle dies size is a 7/8"-14 threads per inch.

Look for a press that advertises that it can take both sizes, or that it will fit the Fifty Cal reloading dies, and you are probaby looking at what you want.

Can't help you on the dies at all, though.

The lee press can be had for $20, and does the hole shotshell loading process without dies. It is a handy unit for low volume loaders.
