So why do the Shotshell load books make such a big deal about using ONLY this Hull, and ONLY this primer, and ONLY this wad for a certain load? But no mention is made about the differences in shot size. Interesting.

No mention is made of shot SIZE because shot is measured by WEIGHT!! If you look at the recipe for each shell they are specific about the WEIGHT of the shot charge, size is irrelevant. Your post displays your inexperience in reloading shotshells, and your lack of knowledge of the process. Any monkey can sit in the garage and pull the lever and pump out shells. You have to EDUCATE yourself on the process to do it well. Unkel, PLEASE go by the instructions in the manual, I would hate for people in Yuma to read about you losing parts of your body due to improperly loaded ammunition.
