Hey all I am wanting some advise because I don't want to blow my shotgun up.  I have a reloader and have no idea how to use it.  Any advise on powders and the such I should use would be helpful.

I think you need to be a little bit more specific. We need to know what guage you are shooting, what hulls, shot wt., and size you plan on using. What you are going to use them for clays, doves, geese, turkey, etc.

 Contact the company that made your reloader, and ask for an instruction book. You can find recipes on most of the powder companies web sites. 

 I think a person needs to be extra cautious loading shotshells, as a small change in the recipe can create disastoruous pressures.

 I've loaded some bismuth shells for my 20 and am real pleased with the patterns. Didn't save a whole lot of money.
The most expensive bullet there is isn't worth a plug nickel if it don't go where its supposed to.

when it comes to shotgun shells in most cases I don't think that it's about saving money I think it's more a relaxation and hobby then anything else now when it comes to my rifle it's another story around here it is hard to find 303 brit ammo lol.

One thing you need to remember is if you pull a charge for any reason, DONT PUT IT IN THE ASHTRAY
Does not play well with others
