Okay, your first task is to STOP and read up about reloading. You are dealing with volatile components and mistakes can have serious implications. You can't just throw stuff together, although I imagine reloading for shotgun is lot more forgiving than rifle.

That said, once you understand the process it's awesome to get into. Get yourself a reloading manual (or two) and watch some youtube videos. ADI powders are available at most gun stores and they have a free to download booklet on all their powders, volumes of powders to use for different projectiles.

What he said ^^^

Even better find someone in your area who reloads shot shells and ask if you can come around and watch them load some, you'll pick up on all the little things we all stuff up when we start reloading

Getting a reloading manual for some proper reference is definitely the first step.

All the powder makers and half the bullet/ammunition manufacturers publish one.
