Post Your Shotgun Shell Reloading setup.
« on: July 27, 2011, 05:37:35 PM »
I am not sure if I put this topic in the right place, But if you guys would post up your shotgun shell reloading setup pics so I can check your setup out?
I just got this press for my 15th birthday last May but recently moved to Castle Rock and just now got it set up and only one powder bushing which I will order Friday is Stoping me from reloading my first 12 gauge shell. :drool: :drool: I Have reloaded 20 gauge but Since the year before I got a new 12 gauge for my birthday, So that's what led me into reloading 12 gauge. :) :)

I went ahead and moved this to here. I think this is the place for it. I have been reloading since the age of 8 but never got into shotshell loading.

I have a MEC 600jr from the 1980s that my grandfather gave to me. It has worked well for me, its a fun hobby. Don't have any pics of my setup though. Looks like you are on your way to enjoying lots of reloading time

I do a lot of reloading, but don't shoot the shotgun enough to get into reloading shells. If the price keeps going up, I may have to.

You have to shoot a lot to save a significant amount of money. I calculated it out last year and i think it costs me $5 +/-. I can buy federal target loads for $5 a box at White Elephant, so it really isn't worth it for me as far as target loads go. I do like being able to taylor my upland loads to fit what i'm doing. For me its more for fun than anything. I hope that answers your question.
