Lots of recent mzl info on the NWTF forum(Shotguns/Shooting). I have a TK2000 on order and have been searching a few forums for loading info. What I really need is a gun shop with a lot of mzl components. I don't think S/W Florida has one. Good luck.

You can use any size shot you want.
Pick you wad according to the shot.
I would use 12 ga 3.5" wads.
I would start with 80 grains of blackhorn 209 powder and work up.
Cut some overshot wads with a choke tube from foam meat trays.

Thanks - seeing a lot of recommendations for the foam meat tray trick.
