Working at the reloading bench will introduce its own hazards into your life, so always wear a good pair of impact-resistant safety glasses in case a primer should explode or some other accident occur.

Everyone who shoots experiences recoil. The first place to begin taming the recoil of a shotgun is probably a good-quality shooting vest with a padded shoulder patch. Relatively inexpensive, the vest is virtually mandatory for carrying extra shells and utility items for a day of shooting.

Some shooting sports writers make a big deal about every shotgun being unique. Oh yeah? Take your 12-gauge Remington 1100 Sporting 12 gas gun with a 28-inch barrel and full choke. Unless you have modified it, unless it is damaged or has become excessively dirty, the difference between the way it shoots and patterns and the way any other current model 12-gauge Remington 1100 Sporting 12 gas gun with a 28-inch barrel and full choke shoots and patterns will be negligible. Where meaningful differences arise is with similar shotguns with different chokes or different length barrels or, of course, with different gauges. Then time at the patterning board will teach you about your specific gun and the loads it shoots best.
