Hello all
I have open ended questions with little details and I'd appreciate any help/input you can share.
I'm not expecting specific answers... just info to steer me.
So lets start the open ended vague questions
12ga - Main purpose is to make very wimpy loads that may be non-existent or very hard to find (fun/practice) and be more self sufficient. I know I wont be saving money on a per round cost.
Is it possible to make a 12 ga load with the recoil of, say, a 410? Are loads for 12ga that low even reference in books?
Main purpose for this would be as light of recoil as possible to shoot more just for fun which will lead to more practice etc.
Next vague question below...
A few people in the shot gun section have mentioned the MecJr. But I'm not stuck on any brand etc.
Looking at Mec's website I can get a MecJr for under $250 that comes with a few bushings and 1 charge bar. My limited knowledge tells me Id need another charge bar to get under the 1 1/8 load and I guess some more bushings in order to make those wimpy loads I mentioned below.

Can I get all of the equipment I need (basic setup) for say $300ish? (new equipment of the basic set up and the other bushes/charge bar needed to make the wimpy loads)
Next
9mm
It seems that metallic reloading is 10x the options of shotgun reloading so I wont mention any brand at all.
Kind of the same basic $$$ question. Not looking to start a war over which brand.
How much $$ would it take to get a basic set up going?
Including a scale and supporting equipment; new equipment. I don't know if I "need" tumblers, and trimmers, and...?
The idea behind it is to take advantage of the growing # of empty shell I have accumulating... and to be more self sufficient. As a bonus, I shoot enough 9mm that I'll recoup the cost before I retire (or die )
I'm not looking for info as to the absolute cheapest way to get into reloading.
More like, How much should I expect to spend to for a basic manual system with the added 'small' stuff?
Once I'm ready, I'd shop for price etc.
I know.... they are very open ended questions with out much detail. But I'm hoping you guys can give me a little input/guidance.
One day, hopefully, I'll be in here asking questions for my 1st reloading session
Thanks for any help.
