The nice thing about a singe stage reloaded is you can't screw up too bad - other than spilling shot or powder, or forgetting a primer or powder - or - well you get it - it's all happened to all of us at one time or another. About the biggest problem people have is trying to put too much in the shell and getting a bad crimp. In a 12ga you'll need about 7/16" from the top of the shell to the shot in it. It may look like the shot is way down in there, but it takes more than people imagine. The shell has to double back over and still have enough to close up the center. Once you get it working with a good crimp, look down in and see far far it is before you do any crimps.
