Hi all. I am fairly new to owning a firearm. I bought a mossberg maverick 8 12 gauge shotgun recently. Have taken it to a range and shot it maybe 100 rounds so far. Birdshot, some clayshot, buckshot and 5 or 10 slugs so far.
Given the cost & challenge buying ammo, I am interested in purchasing this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000NTKD2...olid=1DQ2LNNMI8I6O&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it
LEE PRECISION II Shotshell Reloading Press 12 GA Load All (Multi)
or something similar to use discarded 12 gauge shells to make my own ammo at more affordable cost. And for the skill learning & resourcefulness of it.
Suggestions, tips are greatly appreciated how to start. Im unclear on exactly what kind of primer, powder and anything else I need to use with the reloader. And if I have to use same type shot shells for reloading with same ammo type. As in slugs into shell casings that formerly housed slugs, etc.
What type of powder, primer, wad, shot do i need if i want to make my own slugs with marbles, or large bbs, buckshot, range ammo, etc? From what Ive heard, its hard to source powder?
Best online places to purchase components? Or local in San Francisco north bay area?
Thank you.
