The press in was given was a mec Jr from early 80s I would guess.. I have a Lyman 3rd edition manual but did by a new manual.. I haven't even attempted to load any yet... I have a collection of spent hull but from the sounds of it they won't work as well
So I loaded up some 20 ga shells and used green dot powder... I followed the load data completely and if any thing a little light on the powder.. Winchester AA hulls Winchester AA wads green dot powder and Winchester primers... The shells shot just fine but I noticed they were very dirty after shooting them (gun was disgusting afterwards)...my thoughts are it wasn't burning whole powder charge.... Any ideas on what went wrong??
