Reloading 00 Buck (low recoil) - Complete n00b


Recommended Posts

I got a Lee Load All II over 20yrs ago, and never used it :/  Doesn't look like they've changed in all that time(?) ...Anyways. I'd like to replicate some of the 9 pellet low-recoil (1150 fps) stuff I've been shooting from brands like Fiocchi.... I'm not really interested in loading anything else right now. Slugs would probably be next.

Anyone know of a good recipe(s) for what I'm looking for? And is there anywhere to get 00 buck shot at a price that makes sense, or will i need to cast my own for reloading to save me any money? I'm in an apartment, so that would be tricky :/

If this question is a lot more complicated than i'm thinking :P , links would be appreciated too. Thanks!!

I cast my buck shot so mine is cheap and I use the lead I get from the shells I dump out. Then I put the buck shot back and re crimp. Do the same for slug, and yes I cast them(slugs, Layman and Lee) as well. If you use any of this info use at your own risk.

Try searching on Youtube for some reloading videos. There's a lot of good info on the web, and try your local library.

Reloading ammo is enjoyable and affordable (you've got the press, that's the most expensive part), but can be a little tricky. Proper care and safety is important, but easy to achieve. I've been reloading for my 9mm for about a year and it allows me to shoot a lot more. Each 'recipe' will depend on the type of powder you use, and I've never reloaded for shotgun, so can't offer some specifics.
