During the height of Covid I remember going shopping with friends for supplies and found we had to wait in line to get to the ammo section at a local supplier. Shotgun shells were very limited. "Note to self" says I, proceeded to the reloading section and a MEC and plenty of components were put into the shopping cart. I have almost exhausted my supply of 12 and by the end of summer will need more 16. During the process I have found I very much enjoy reloading shot shells. Attention to detail will produce a very good alternative to factory ammo. Major issue is waterfowl loads using Bismuth and TSS. How does one convince game wardens the loads you reproduced are indeed non toxic waterfowl compliant. A 16 with TSS holds much promise as a waterfowl load if you pass inspection.
