20 gauge slug or buckshot reloading help

[S&sprecisionTx]

Just wondering if any of you guys have any good info on reloading slugs or buckshots for 20 gauge

I did get with these guys to get some sabots

If I were to give you any advice, it would be to stick to complete and exact recipes till you have lots of experience developing shotgun loads.

Ask the folks who sold you the sabots to give you the full recipes.

Try not to substitute components while you are on the early part of your journey. You have to survive the learning curve to be able to understand which parameters and factors will spike the pressure to a dangerous level.

That said, if you started buying components they should come from a complete recipe that includes the specific hull, powder, primers, etc.. or another way to say this is to avoid buying partial component lists only to find out you don't have everything else. You may be tempted to swap a critical part and get a bad result.

Here are two books, one is buckshot specific, and the other is general shotgun.
