[How do I begin to reload for shotgun?]

Contact your local SASS club and find a mentor to guide you.

It's not that hard.

[How long do you feel comfortable leaving powder in a hopper?]

Overnight at most.

I like red dot sights, but green is better. Much more accurate than iron sights.

And for some reason uses more battery 

I prefer green also....

I would look into Lock, stock and Barrel. They sell on Gunbroker. They are in Wyoming but will send a truck to your house to get the guns. I have used them a couple times and was happy.

A great and honest bunch to deal with

I've had FTF issues with the bulk Federal stuff but I only use that stuff for plinking and messing around and it's only been several out of the 550 packs. The Remington bulk pack is far worse ammo as far as FTF, at least it is for me.

 

The Federal Auto Match is the stuff that concerns me. Out of 10 rounds (Ruger MKII), only 3 of them will sound the same with some being almost a squib. In fact, once I got a squib rod from the RO shack to see if there was one in the barrel, there wasn't...but there wasn't one on the target either.

100% agree about Remmy, it's junk!

Never tried Auto Match, don't think I ever will.

Yes they’re good but it’s a lot cheaper to buy Federal bulk ammo especially for the Rimfire challenge. We shoot about 200 rounds. 

There have been issues with that Federal ammo in the past.

IIRC, I think there was a recall for it awhile back. 

[Storage of Firearms while travelling]

Looks as if they no longer make dedicated gun cases. 

But no case is tougher.

Just round off the total to the lowest nickel.

I don’t have race guns and while most of my .22’s work fine I get an occasional misfire more so than with my .38 or .45 

The guns I use for the Rimfire challenge are all stock! It’s the ammo not the guns that I don’t trust for self defense.

Have you tried CCI mini-mag solids?

They shoot great in my auto's, lever action and revolvers.

I use standard velocity only in my suppressor equipped Ruger auto.

Different kinds but it’s not just me it’s a lot of shooters. 

Race guns and SD guns ain't the same.

Look a SASS guns for a comparison.

None of mine have been messed with. You can’t have too light a trigger pull on a .22. Sure a .22 is better than a rock but if it fails to fire I may go with a nice BIG rock 😂

All my .22's fire every time.

What brand ammo do you use? 

I only use CCI mini-mag solids

[Kynoch Cartridge Making]

Found out that I have been adding powder wrong all these decades 

Great video, TNX! 

[.22 for self defense.]

And those competition guns have all been messed with for a light trigger pull.

A .22 is better than throw'n rocks(barely).  

 

[Intake Manifold ~ what the heck is this stuff?]

Chain jump and fuel residue. 

I'm sure there are other issues going on too.

 

[12g snake load?]

#8 shot trap load will work very well.

[Knock downs, popups, fallen targets]

Same deal if 2 fall with one shot. You shoot where it was.

Not to mention the results of a double powder drop blowing parts of a gun in whatever direction!

 

If you’re checking your drops regularly and your press has proven reliable, feel free to go for it.  I’m experienced in several endeavors where machinery is or was involved and I can safely say that “ANY MECHANICAL CONTRIVANCE MADE BY HUMANS, CAN COME ACROPPER!!”  Often with disastrous results!

 

Anything that can keep something bad from happening is welcome.

Rule #1 in reloading is PAY ATTENTION to what you are doing.

That means no visitors or phone or othe distractions etc,  while you're on the machine.

If the ck die works for you, please use it.

I am glad you never had any issues but I have seen enough issues in my 20 years of SASS that I will not discourage anyone from using any of the powder check dies. If I’m the TO and someone has an Out of Battery Discharge, I’m a lot closer than I want to be.

What does a OBD have to do with a powder ck die?
