Thinking of starting to reload for my 20 gauge. Like to keep it simple. Anyone have any equipment recommendations?

Re: 20 gauge shotgun reloading

Robert: I've been reloading my own shotgun ammo for about 50 years. Mostly for clay bird shooting, but also for upland and waterfowl hunting. My advice is to purchase a new or used MEC 600 Jr. Mark V. It will turn out quality loads and is easy to learn and maintain. Please don't get fooled by the false economy of buying a Lee Loader or other cheap brand.

People say that these days, you can buy 12 ga. or 20 ga. for about the same cost as reloading. This may be true for the lowest price loads, but you can turn out premium quality reloads for about the same cost as the lowest price promotional loads in the store. -Ed
