Three of us, have just purchased a reloader, but have not bought bushings or reloading components. We will be loading 2 7/8" shells with 1 3/8oz loads of ITX or E shot when available. This is the only decisions we have made so far.
I should mention that while formerly using an English pigeon grade 12 weighing 7lb 4oz, while it did not have much recoil with target lead loads, when shooting a 1oz load of Black Cloud, was uncomfortable to shoot, and removed skin on middle finger behind the trigger guard. This is what led to my decision to shoot heavier guns for waterfowl. Even many of the new autos exceed 8lbs, so I purchased a DH 12ga, my first Parker, that weighs in at 8lb 6oz. Still desiring a long range gun, and missing a 10ga, has led to the decision to go with a hammer 10.
