I reload for all the same reasons plus i have found it a good idea to start off kids and my grand daughters with half ounce 20 ga. go to 3/4 then 7/8 without telling them and they never mention recoil. I am a fan of low recoil also and the commercial offerings do not come close. Paul did my PM reach you? I may not have done it properly.

I have reloaded for decades - originally to save money so I could shoot more often
but now days - i enjoy the freedom to chose my load for different guns - and how else would I get a steady supply of 1 1/2 12ga bismuth or nice shot not to mention to feed the short tens (including an extra short British 10) either lead or non-tox after lucking into a box of the old Alcan FBS 16ga wads - i loaded up enough of the Sherman Bell very light (4800 PSI) 1 1/8 loads to give a try at clays with a light weight short ten. where in the world would you buy a load like that.

I don't always look for messages - yes I got it. I think I almost enjoy making up different loads as I do shooting. The guys like 2" or 2 1/4" roll crimp shells.

Thank you for your reply. Another PM sent. Reloading lets you explore more options than are commercially available. Years ago a skeet shooter told me he was not crazy about skeet but loved to reload and skeet was the best way to empty the shells

Paul, like you it's something I like to do. I have tailored loads to specific guns in 4 gauges, Multiple loads for some, each in a different color hull to make sure I put the right one in. New load, the collective,experience on this forum, very valuable.
Be simple to only shoot 12 G and buy factory B&Ps . But a lot less fun. William |
