Be gentle , although I've reloaded a lot of standard cartridges I've never even read anything about shotgun reloading . Well I've glanced at some stuff but don't even have a manual for it . Was looking at the Lyman 4th edition I think it was . any thoughts on that ?? anything better and more comprehensive ??
When I've glanced at some stuff It always quickly overwhelmed my brain . It does not seem even remotely like loading let say 9mm . Other then everything confusing me , types of hulls and wads top the list then comes primers and why is it so specific . Regular cartridges say use this type of prime but we can use others we just start low and work back up but with shotgun it seems it's this type and only this type , is that right . ??
I ask because I bought what I could so I have military 2-3/4" 00 buck hulls and standard W209 primers . Can I load anything with that combo and what type of wads do I need with that combo . My plan is to load 00 to #4 shot in these rounds .
Thanks in advance but again I get lots real quick in this so go slow . I was talking to the guy at the reloading store and he lost me so fast it wasn't even funny . It was like asking a computer expert to explain how to use word and after they said click here I was lost because they had already clicked 5 other things before I grasped what the first click was for . Same difference He started talking and before I could take in the first thing he said he was finishing with "and that's all there is to it .
