Load-All II Caliber 16 Shotshell Reloader
Complete single-stage reloading press designed specifically for 16 gauge shotgun shells, compatible with 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch hulls. This precision-engineered press offers reliable and consistent performance for handloaders specializing in metallic and semi-metallic shotgun ammunition, ensuring optimal shot pattern and ballistic efficiency.
The kit includes a comprehensive set of 24 meticulously crafted powder and shot bushings, engineered to provide precise metering and uniform distribution of propellant and shot charges. These bushings are essential for achieving consistent internal ballistics and maximizing the effectiveness of each reload.
This versatile reloading press accommodates shotgun hulls measuring 2 inches, 2 3/4 inches, and 3 inches in length, making it ideal for a wide range of 16 gauge shotgun applications, from hunting upland game to competitive clay shooting. The press is optimized for the exacting tolerances required in 16 gauge cartridge assembly, ensuring reliable crimping and seating of components.
Designed as a complete solution for 16 gauge cartridge reloading, this press facilitates the precise assembly of shotshells with enhanced control over powder charges and shot payloads. Its robust steel frame and durable plastic base provide stability and longevity under rigorous use in reloading benches.
Included are eight shot bushings with shot weight capacities of 7/8 oz, 1 oz, 1-1/8 oz, 1-1/4 oz, 1-1/2 oz, 1-3/4 oz, and 1-7/8 oz. The 1-7/8 oz bushing features a specialized small flange designed to fit securely within the loading ram, ensuring accurate shot seating and consistent shot column compression.
Additionally, the press comes equipped with sixteen powder bushings calibrated in cubic centimeters: 0.95, 1.00, 1.05, 1.10, 1.16, 1.22, 1.28, 1.34, 1.41, 1.48, 1.55, 1.63, 1.71, 1.80, 1.89, and 1.98 cc. These precise measurements enable handloaders to tailor powder charges for optimal pressure curves and velocity control, critical for safe and effective shotgun shell reloading.
This is a single-stage (non-progressive) reloading press, ideal for meticulous reloaders who prioritize precision and control over speed. Its design allows for step-by-step assembly of each component, ensuring maximum quality and consistency in every cartridge.
Compatible calibers include 16/70 and 16/76, covering the most common 16 gauge shell lengths used in hunting and sport shooting. The press features a heavy-duty steel frame construction paired with a resilient plastic base to minimize vibration and enhance operator comfort during extended reloading sessions.
For added versatility, an optional conversion kit is available to adapt the press for 12 gauge or 20 gauge shotgun shell reloading, expanding its utility across multiple shotgun calibers and reloading requirements.
