Good day, all. First post and it looks like a helpful and knowledgeable group here.
I've been reloading brass pistol and rifle for many years and have a fair amount of experience with that. I have also helped a friend reload shotshells for hunting many years back and it is a similar process as long as you don't get the powder/shot slide mixed up. My friend did that one time.
Recently with all of the unrest going on and our reliance on shotguns for home defense, I went through my inventory and found our stocks a bit lacking. Mostly 9 pellet 2 3/4" and 15 pellet 3" shells.
Since 00 buckshot loads are pretty much non existent, I opted to load my own for myself and those in my circle that have similar needs. I am starting with a simple Lee press.
BP is quite well stocked for my needs. 2 3/4" Fiocchi and Cheddite primed hulls in stock for good prices. 00 buckshot also readily available and powder here locally.
Wads are where I am needing some guidance. So far this thread has been quite helpful.

Anyway. Glad to be here and thanks for any guidance.
