Shotshell Reloading

[kastles]

I found a rcbs minigrand a few months ago for cheap and bought it. Now i can't justify letting it sit there so i went out and bought a shotty yesterday. i now need a bit of literature to figure out how to make a round or two. Any recommendations on a good shotshell reloading book? and any other advise would be appreciated.

Even the best reloading presses can have problems with poor hulls. Currently the best hulls on the market are the Remington target hulls, the smooth green ones, marked STS etc. Winchester were good in the past, and are still OK, but the new HS hulls are not regarded as highly. Federal GM hulls are very good too. It is usually a mistake for a beginner to try to re-load high brass hunting loads. It certainly can be done, but success will come easier if you start with with target load recipes. Buy once fired target hulls, or better yet, a case of good target loads for your new gun, and when you are done shooting them, have fun with your new loader!
