I almost wore out 2 Lee Load-Alls in the 1970’s and 1980’s. 12 and 20 gauge. A little slow, but made good ammo.
With the prices on components currently, especially shot, shooting factory loads may be cheaper than reloading. Availability of the CORRECT components are a big issue too.
Follow the loading manual specs EXACTLY. Pay particular attention to the wads and hulls. They are not interchangeable. Usr the correct wad for the hull. Some hulls have an inside taper-the rest do not. Using the wrong wad in some hulls will cause serious pressure spikes.
Get at least one, and preferably two loading manuals, and read them cover to cover. Several times. Just like you should metallic cartridge loading manuals.
