[QUOTE="parshal, post: 2769166, member: 605"] I used to load a lot of shotgun. They don't have dies like we do for metallic reloading. Basically, you have a dedicated reloader for each gauge. Swapping between them would be a PITA and I'm not sure how it would work unless you're also changing the size of the base/shell carrier (where the hull rides). As above, I've only used MEC machines. Progressive machines get very messy when, not if, you make a mistake (i.e. - both shot and powder all over the machine, bench and floor). The other big difference from metallic is there are no pressure signs. Don't deviate from established recipes or send some off for pressure testing. Don't swap components like primers and wads.
