12ga reloading costs

[C.O.B.]

Mike the adapter for the short kit assuming your using a single stage press is available from Mec for about $30. Some presses will adjust far enough to use the 2 1/2 inch shell without it. I have a single stage 20ga press that I didn't need the adapter for. You might ask the people here if they have one they would part with. I know someone who has one for a 16ga press (I don't know if there guage specific) and I doubt he has started loading short 16's.

Mike I like Daryl's 3/4 oz load as well and have loaded up 500 for the 20ga. I doubt your saving much as you have increased powder, primers and wads but your net cost is still about $5/box....and they are fun to shoot.
