A good cheap way to get started into reloading shot shells is the Lee Load All II. One can be had for about $50 and then all you need are the correct hull/wad combination and a pound of powder, some primers and a bag of lead pellets. All in all you will have about $125 invested to get started. Just pick up a Winchester reloading guide, free at most sporting goods stores that carry reloading supplies and find the combination in there that you are looking for. Then you will know the correct combination of hull/wads to buy. If you dont have the correct combination it makes it very tough to get the proper crimp on the hull.
