Daveo26 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) You can get a lee load all, which will load 12 bore and with a conversion kit either 20 or 16 bore but not .410 Then you need Hulls either new or old ones that you have collected. If your using old ones you will need primers. Then you need shot, wads and powder. You need different types of powder for the .410 and 12. I buy new primed hulls for 10p each powder is around £25-£35 per lb depending on what brand you buy. Shot is about £3 per Kilo ay present The last shot i bought was £25 for 7 1/2 lb of number 6. Wads ?? dont know about price im still using a sack of fibres i bought ages ago. The load all does every thing you need including de-capping and re-capping and crimping the 12 bore stuff. For the .410 you can buy a roll crimper which you put in a drill or spend a small fortune on a MEC machine which i have no experiance of. It saves you buggger all if your loading clay or standard game cartridges but if your doing BB of something bigger it MIGHT be worth while. I really enjoy rolling my own and it feels grand when you drop a pigeon with one. Try Clayandgame shotshell reloaders for more info. I hope this helps all the best Dave. P.s it sounds more complicated than it is. Edited August 24, 2009 by Daveo26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesshot Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Soreshoulder - don't know if it's of any use but we got our last lot of shot from www.steel-shot.com and it was £2.79 a kilo delivered, including VAT. It says on the website they do bulk orders but i emailed the guy and hes happy to do any quantity. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
