A comprehensive, full-colour 752-page guide dedicated to loading smoothbore shotguns. Tables based on pressure gauge tests for 12-, 16-, 20-, 24-, 28-, 32- and 36-gauge, .410-gauge and smaller calibres.
A complete, updated, full-color manual dedicated exclusively to shotshell and slug reloading for smoothbore firearms. Engineered to serve as a precise, safe, clear, and up-to-date reference guide for both beginners and seasoned reloaders looking to refine their craft.
Illustrated with over 540 high-resolution photographs, this book details components, accessible equipment, and bench techniques. It addresses safety protocols, common mistakes, potential hazards, and troubleshooting remedies.
Unlike other manuals on the market, the load recipes provided in this guide include:
- Specific wad type used
- Exact crimp height of the finished cartridge
- Ballistic data (pressure and velocity) measured using modern pressure barrels
All load combinations have been pressure-tested and verified using modern proof-house equipment for lead shot, steel shot, and solid slugs.
