Cant help with a supplier, but have you bought a press yet if not i can full recomend the Lee Loadall, i used one for years loaded many thousands of shells, the best cases i found were Remington RXP or the Peters Blue Magic, they are an 8 point crimp and can be loaded many mant times without crimp splitting, compression formed case so a slightly reduced powder load ( save a bit of the bangy stuff) from what i remember a 1 1/8 load was pushed out the tubes at around 1120f/s they give good patterns for both game and clays, The wads i used at the time were called Plaswad but to be honest ive not seen them in years. However the press will load with fiber just as well , it just a bit more fiddley.

I did modify my press and bought a 16bore sizing ring then i could load both 12 and 16 on the same press. Both loads were as good as factory ammo.

 

Having said all that ask yourself this ,,, at the price/1000 bought is the outlay and time/effort worth it, i stopped reloading when i found a suppier how could sell me factory at the same cost as reload.

 

Well best of luck with it all, must admit i did enjoy making my own bangers and seeing them perform as well as factory stuff. Tom.

I reload for my 12g and it only costs about £ per 1000 as against £160 for factory rounds...... 3 of us got together and bought a lead shot maker...We can knock out about 35 kilo of No 6 or No 7 shot in about 1-1/2 hours...Plenty of mate in the building trade so lead is no problem up to now...I load 28g No7 for the clays and 30 or 32gr No6 for the crows and pigeons we have cronnoed them and they are doing just over 1300fps....We get our cases from the local clay grounds :clapper:

 

Forgot to add i use a mec 9000g loader that i bought from the good old USA at less than half the price you can buy them over here it can knock out 100 carts in 15 minutes
