Just saw your comment, I'm doing 2 3/4 for all my loads currently. They work just fine for me with dove, and I used some at the sporting clays, and they worked well there too. Both my lead and steel loads pattern out very nicely. I would probably go 3 inch for duck and goose loads though.
@@crusinman2002 would it work for 16 gauge if you adjusted it? I'm picking my dad up a ithaca 37 in 16g, I already have a couple twelve gauges, 20g. But given the cost of 16g it seems like reloading would be better on the wallet than trying to find it bulk, or paying shipping online all the time.
I actually started doing shotshell because I got a good deal on the loader, some primers, and some powder. Plus availability at the time was slim to non for factory loads. After doing some pattern testing of the factory loads I was using vs my reloads, the reloads are giving me a better pattern, so I'll keep reloading.
My shot varies depending on what I'm loading for. I use lead for practice size 6 or 7, and steel for hunting size 2, 6, or 7. Wads also vary depending on the hull being loaded, shot being loaded, and powder being used. There are too many variables when it comes to load variables to be comfortable giving out load data. But I can say that powder manufacturers have their own load data, so my advice would be to find a powder that's available and the manufacturer has load data for it for shotgun. The load data will be dependent on the hull you are using, and it will give you what the powder manufacturer recommends for charge weight, primer, wad, shot type, and shot weight.
Good grief, it's a SHOTGUN, you do not need to weigh out the shot charge. Gain some experience and you'll come to realize that 7/8 ounce of shot is all you need for 12 gauge. BTW, I shoot Skeet and practice with the 410 because it's cheap, forces precision, and doesn't beat your shoulder up. Powder charges are important and with a small modification that Sizemaster can throw charges with a Standard Deviation that matches that for a RCBS Competition powder measure. Note that modification is to notch the Prochek so that the powder bushing can be parked 1 bushing diameter left of the power bottle after being filled. This eliminates all the powder packing that happens when it's parked under the powder bottle during the subsequent press strokes. BTW, I have 3 of the Perfect Powder measures that I will eventually throw in the trash. Try loading 410 with H110 or 45ACP with Accurate #5 with that junky Lee measure and you will understand why. Point is that with practice you can load 25 shells in 10 minutes with that Sizemaster and they will shoot just as well as what you are doing right now. I can also tell you that in testing a modern shotgun it takes 55,000 psi to blow up the barrel chamber with an overcharge. To get up to that kind of pressure you have to start by multiplying the recommended charge by a factor of 4. Modern shotguns a very strong, even low dollar guns like Mossberg. BTW, Jerry Miculek used a Mossberg for this testing.
For those who can't afford such equipment, Walmart sells brand new shells.
Nice my brother...😎
I really like this and want to reload myself, But what is our time worth when you can buy a round at 40 cents
Nice
Thank you!
Ive got an old 700 Versamec I should convert to do 3" steel like that.

Very good is the gun
Good day, brother, where can I find the supplier for everything that you demonstrated in your vid?...THANKS
Does that reloader fit 12 and 20 guage or just 12 guage? When I get my own house I'm going to reload for all my guns.
The MEC Sizemaster is convertible between both gauges. But, if you'll be switching gauges often, it would be best to get one in each gauge.

I always wanted to reload, it it seems like the cost doesn’t make sense. Do you do it for consistency or do u save money. Nice setup.

@@vetkenoutdoors gun powder recipe name please tel me
Whats the name of the press you're using ASAP
MEC Sizemaster
What powder/Shot size/wad do you use for these loads?
My shot varies depending on what I'm loading for. I use lead for practice size 6 or 7, and steel for hunting size 2, 6, or 7.

is that tungsten shots ? we are produce tungsten shots for sale
It's lead shot in this video. I am currently only loading lead and steel.
