Anyone know where to locate some Alliant Steel shotshell powder? Preferably in the Ottawa area, or a dealer who ships? Tried my usual place and no dice.
 
Success! I found some STEEL.

Managed to find 3lbs, and it was even local. If anyone else is looking for some, there were 2lbs left after I got mine. Stittsville Shooting Ranges in Ottawa.
 
I'm not new to reloading but reloading for shotgun is a complete mystery for me, i have a couple questions sorry to hijack your post.

What size/weight/length shell do you reload?

Is it possible to load heavy for waterfowl? I'm assuming that's what you're doing?

I'm weird. This is for buffered No.2 and BB loads in a 16 gauge 870 using Cheddite 2,3/4" hulls and VP80 wads.

In 12, I just buy store bought. Reloading in 12 isn;t any cheaper and the loads I want are readily available in store.

In 16g, not so much.

In terms of "loading heavy", always follow tested load data.

I may try some bismuth this year. Got a hold of a good bismuth manual from Bilozir.
