Alliant has data on-line:http://www.alliantpowder.com/reloaders/index.aspx
So does Hodgdon Powder. Like mentioned BPI Ballistic Products makes special steel wads and also have specific manuals. Use exact data and components listed. |

For about $20 you can get yourself a Lyman Shotshell Reloading Handbook. Lots of good information on shotshell reloading, and lots of load data.

I agree with the above post as well. I have Lyman 2,3,4, and 5. When #6 comes out, it will be one of my first purchases. I have SS data fron several sources as well. If you can't find a load with what's available for components, look in another manual. There are thousands of combinations, but don't just load whatever you have without checking the book first; shotshell reloading is a RECIPE and you have to go BY THE BOOK! I use a MEC machine as do millions of others; it's the only one I own.
