Hello Jim,
Welcome to the 8 Bore Club!!!!
For reloading I think most everyone started with a modified MEC 600 Jr which we have acquired through Tom Armbrust, he has put a reloading book together on the 4 & 8 bore and is very knowledgeable on the big bores. 815-451-6649
Dave DeFernelmont Jr is currently working on a few PW presses also for a few of us.
Ken Burns is the man modifying the MEC presses and also producing a swaging die system to remove the additional shoulder on Industrial 8 gauge Hulls to prevent the Industrial loads from being accidentally fired in a sporting arm. Ken's # is 847-909-9409
Craig Larter and Mike Koneski have organized group buys of new primed Winchester 8 gauge Industrial hulls in the recent past, I have some on hand to help you get started as I'm sure a few others do also.
Let me or Craig know if you will be at the Southern and need some ammo to participate.
Stan
