Just curious - I have no experience reloading shotshells, wondered if anyone here reloads 20 gauge. I'm very interested in adding several 20's to my 12's for company...

I was really interested in whether or not reloading shotshells for HD or custom loads was anywhere near an economical effort. As I am just getting into reloading with Lee Loader kits for a few specific rifle and pistol rounds, I am by no means knowledgeable on the subject.
Recently, I have been reading up on 20 gauge shotshells and their performance with newer loadings to optimize their use in rifled slug barrels - yeah, the Savage 220 - and I was very surprised. Also, being only a lifelong 12 gauge guy for occasional clays busting and HD I'd never thought of getting into 20 gauge. I like the reduced recoil, who wouldn't? Seems like you can get loads or make them for the 20 that will just about be on par with 12 gauge, at least close enough that I'm looking for a gun now to try out in 20.
Thanks for offering your ideas and I look forward to learning more about shotshell reloading!
