I have no interest in reloading. I purchase most of my turkey shells in the fall or when they first become available. Since I'm shooting turkeys I don't need to buy much.
So I started turkey hunting with an old 835 I had. All my shots are within 30 yards, so when I put the red dot on the red neck I feel extremely confident with that 3.5" TSS payload headed out the barrel. Do I think it's overkill, most certainly I do at the ranges I shoot turkeys. I love overkill. So with the .410 I'll hunt with this year I have a little different mindset. The cute little .410 is quick handling and light, and the TSS shells tend to be a little cheaper than the 3.5" 12 gauge loads. I imagine my patterning sessions with the .410 will be more enjoyable. I could probably sell my lead sled, but I won't because I'm still gonna hunt with the 835.
Anyway, I make all my turkey shell purchases well before turkey season, often before Christmas.

I enjoyed reloading for my .243 Winchester and had done up some loads for the 30.06 Springfield as well as using the Loadall II for reloading shots for when I shot Sporting Clays for a short bit before my last accident. I just found out where most of my loading gear is at my friends house he just got roaches because of one of his sons friends that he let stay there because he was homeless. So now I do not want anything back, almost $1500.00 of gear and I am going to have to start over and I have to decide if I am going to.
