One notes that Rabbit is a beginner to neither shooting or reloading, only specifically to BP shotshell reloading. He will remain so, as did all of us, until he actually starts. My first experience at BP "Reloading" was with a ramrod & a 12ga ML'er. When I decided I wanted some BP shotshells, I felt no need at all to "Buy Factory", as I too was already loading smokeless. My advise Jack, "Try It, You'll Like It".
