I've been reloading 12 and 20 gauge shotgun shells since the late 1970's ( mostly trap and skeet loads ) and continue to do so because of stockpiled powder,shot and wads ( at late 70's and early 80's pricing ).I also have presses for 28 gauge and .410. ( all MEC 600 jr's ).

I load 28 gauge and 410 skeet loads, 12 and 20 gauge don't save enough to make it worthwhile.

I load 12 gauge low pressure loads (6200-6800 )psi or my old Parker but not for nything else anymore as the savings for normal loads is minimal. Spmetimes if I cant fins a local shell like 13/8 oz #5 shot I'll run a box or two.

I sold off most of my shotgun gear and now only have a few 28,20,and 12 gauge presses left.
I only load huntin ammo for the most part , smokeless and black powder cartridges .

I'm set up for 12 gauge and 410, though I rarely use it. Need to get set up for short 10 gauge, that stuff is hard to find. - dan

I load 12, 20, 28 and 410. Do you have any specific questions ?

 

[Tompullings]

Yes. I reload 12 and 410 with Lee loaders. Mostly brass hulls.

 

[billbmcleod]

No!

 

[Rynnik]

Fun thread! I make brass 410 out of 444 marlin cases.

I found a progressive 12 gauge press for sale, a Honey Bear. Any reviews on em?

Also, will my factory goose shell empties be good enough to be fired multiple times?

Bair loaders are long obsolete, but related to Pacific, which sold out to Hornady. It should be give away cheap.
You cannot save significant money loading steel shot. You are better buying good shells when they come on sale.

12 & 16 only, mostly specialty stuff.
