So Harleydoc, it looks like you will become our resident shotgun loader as you are the first! I hope you will record your experiences here.

I will someday get a LEE LOAD-ALL so I can load some shells when needed. I hope someday people here can report what they have done with this.

Well I loaded up a few rounds today... 39 gains of steel powder and 1 1/8 of BB with ranger plus shot cups and fiocchi hulls head out on a goose hunt in the am so I will let everyone know how they perform they patterned outstanding at 40 yard. I think I could make the a bit hotter tho but we will see how tomorrow goes.
