Basic Shotgun Shell Reloading Training

RCBS; The Grand Progressive Shotshell Reloading Machine. Available for use by all full-year members of Clark County Gun Club

Shotgun sports while very fun can cause you to use a lot of ammunition.

The Shotgun Shell Reloading course teaches you how to safely reload shotgun shells providing you the opportunity to save a significant amount of money and using a variety of powders and shot sizes to create custom loads for your shotgun to maximize it's accuracy while managing the recoil.

This 8 plus hour class leads you through the basics needed to select components and safely reload shotgun shells. To measure their performance, plenty of time will be available to use these loads during class (and to repeatedly reload the hulls).

The class fee includes targets, range fees and enough reloading components to load 50 rounds of 12 gauge target load ammunition. Extra components will be available for an additional fee.

This is a prerequisite class for CCGC members who wish to use the club shotgun shell reloading equipment.
