Shotgun reloading on single stage press

Post by Oldbloke » 23 Nov 2023, 4:08 pm

I dont need one, but just curious.

Lee used to make a 12g classic loader, pretty simple. I have one, or most of it.

Has there ever been available a kit to load shotgun cases on a std 7/8" single stage press?

I guess it would only require,
1. Case holder
2. Priming tool
3. Powder Scoops
4. Lead shot scoops
5. Crimping attachments.
6. Re-sizer.

I doubt a 7/8ths press would be able to use a 12g sizing die, would need a 1 1/4 like the Lee Challenger

You can still find the old Lee 12g press fairly cheap
