Hey Y'all,
I am very new to shotshell reloading. Being a greenpea I rushed out and bought components before doing much research. I have however, bought a Lymans reloading manual since then. I have also found a deal on a MEC 761 Grabber and a MEC 650. The gentleman that sold me the presses threw in 3000 RXP12 wads and 6-700 once fired Remington Premium hulls. I found a recipe that I would like to try, but the recipe calls for Remington 209 primers, the primers that I bought are Winchester 209's. Are primers interchangeable? I did read in the Lymans manual that the Rem primers cause a little more pressure than the Winchester primers. Also, does anyone have a favorite powder? The manual seems to recommend the fastest burning double based powder which looks to be Titewad.
any help will be much appreciated.
