Hey guys just wondering if anyone has any experience with reloading SCORE shot shells. I currently reload a Winchester AA target load but saw some of the hulls on these SCORE shells look really nice but I don't have any data for them. Any knowledge or experience is appreciated. Still learning and just don't know :)

Cheers and tight groupings haha!
 
Fiocchi hulls are reloadable with the proper data and components .data can be found on the hodgdon reload site . the Fiocchi or Rio primers used in the data may be harder to find .
 
I already had full equipment(lyman) for reloading pistols ammo,how much do i need to add inorder to reload shot shell.

You will need a shotshell press in the gauge you are going to reload . completely different than a metallic loading press . the only piece you will use from your metallic setup is your scale .
 
Reloading target loads for shotgun nowadays is futile. It is cheaper to buy factory ammo. Component prices are insane. I quit loading several years ago when it started costing me more to reload than buying factory. I eventually sold all my presses and gear too.
 
Said before - it is only worth reloading specialty shot shells - black powder cartridges, plated shot high performance loads and non-toxic shot loads (eg. Bismuth and Tungsten).
Target loads are cheaper (at least on sale prices) than reloading components.
It is also difficult, here in Saskatoon, to reliably get wads and lead shot, to say nothing of the shortage of shotgun powders recently.
 
As was already said it doesn't pay to reload shot shells unless it is for buckshot or slugs that you cast yourself. $50 for 25lbs of 7 1/2 shot is ridiculous.
It is cheaper to buy target factory shot shells by the flat.
 
Not worth it to get set up for basic upland game or sporting loads for the 12/20 ga. Only cost effective if you cast your own buckshot/slugs to load or similar specialty loads, i.e., reduced power, black powder, etc. Or you're shooting harder to find gauges like 16ga or. 410ga that are much more expensive and are only available in limited loadings. In terms of shotgun presses, you won’t go wrong with a MEC MK V Jr. They're gauge specific, although you can buy conversion kits to switch to another gauge. However, it's not something you want to do regularly. I had a couple of extra MEC presses in 12ga that I switched permanently to 16ga and. 410ga. You can order directly from MEC.
