Lord v Posted January 4, 2019 Report Share Posted January 4, 2019 Because of the recent issues with my 16ga I have looked more seriously at reloading for it and think it's probably a goer. Not so much financially (although I should recoup the cost of the basic kit after approx 5000 reloads....) but in flexibility of load. I shoot way more clays than game and a 21g or 24g of 8s in a 16 would be nice I think... I have been looking at a Lee loadall, its a lot cheaper than anything else. Does it lack any features I would actually benefit from? (probably be reloading 1000 a year maybe) Other than a press, scales, RTO tool and skiver is there anything else I desperately need? A few other q's: Are clay and game data sheets a good place to start? Does anyone else do good recipes for a 16? How often would you check the powder/shot drop on a set of scales from a Lee? I did see a link to an Italian reloading site a long time ago that seemed comprehensive. Does anyone have it? Thanks chaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
