I've reloaded pistol and rifle cartridges for a long time and enjoy both the process and the money it saves me. I've started dabbling in shotgun sports, which got me thinking about reloading shotshells.
In the past, I bought whatever brand of shells was cheap and available (usually Remington Gun Club or Winchester white box), and left the empty hulls at the range. I did a little online research, and it sounds like different shell manufacturers require their own specific styles of primers and wads, which could be problematic these days.
I probably don't need more than 200 shells a month, if that. Is it worth it to reload for 12 gauge? If so, should I buy a specific brand of shells to shoot while I wait for components to come back in stock? Winchester AA Target Loads seemed to be mentioned a lot as good candidates for reloading.
Thanks in advance for any advice!
