First reloads today!!!

I have trying to break into shotshell reloading for quite some time.

I bought a used MEC 20G VersaMec for cheap and a 16G 600jr MK 5 to get me started.

So I finally got everything together and really wanted to try to load a few shells.

Did I simple 20G 2 3/4" 7/8 load on my Versamec loader.

Winchester    572    Win. 209     CB 1078-20    18.8    9,600                     1,250

 

I was using a #18 MEC bushing which should drop 18.7g of H572 per the bushing charts.

 My scale hasn't come in yet so I couldn't verify the  powder drop from the bushing so I was a bit nervous.

This was more of a experiment to see everything come together.

I'll also add I don't plant to shoot any of these 3 shells and I already dissembled them.
