It's not 'quite' that out of hand here yet. I've been trying to guard against it, but I keep coming up with these brilliant ideas and new wonder loads.

I don't load anything 'standard' in 12ga. The whole appeal to me is custom loads.

I load factory duplication loads just to save money in 20 and 410, and also some 3/4oz 20's and spreaders.

But in 12, if I can buy it new it generally doesn't pay to load it.
