Dave,

Thanks for the tip for going with smaller gauges. When I first reloaded for 12 I was using the 12 ga. disks and couldn't fold crimp, messed up my reloader, and instead had to roll crimp them.

When you reload intending to use with a spreader disk, I read somewhere that you use powder recipes for 1 1/8 loads but only drop 1 oz of shot and then add the spreader disk - then crimp. In this example, this is when you are reloading for 12 gauge.

Is this what you do?
