Reloading and handloading are two ways to speak about the same thing, refilling shotshell hulls with new components so that you can shoot them again. If you shoot more than a few boxes of shells a year, you must explore this fascinating hobby. Scott Richardson of Gainesville, Fla., has built a temperature- and humidity-controlled room for his reloading presses.

While possibly seeming daunting at first, especially if you learn on your own, reloading is actually quite easy. (It may seem like you are feeling your way blindly, but that is where this book will help.) Expect to reload and then shoot your shells successfully, with excellent results, because you can. Every individual and every company active in the shooting sports industry wants you to be successful, to have fun and to reach your shooting and your reloading goals.

The last dozen years has seen a proliferation in three types of loads that have made reloading more relevant than ever. First, there has been a proliferation of inexpensive shells from Spain and elsewhere. Today, it is not only the “Big Three” of Winchester, Remington and Federal who provide a diverse line-up of shotshells. You occasionally find boxes of Clay, B&P, Eley and Wolf shotshells at gun clubs or on the shelves of local retailers.
