Willy,
Do some searching on the site.
There is something on the Dark Arts I don't remember if it directly applies but you can look at this old thread as well.
http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/topic,21218.0.htmlDo you want to shoot fiber wads or plastic wads? Does it make a difference to you? There are proponents of both on this forum. I shoot both, I tend to use plastic because I get a tighter pattern and it is faster to load. I get all of the smoke and boom a vegetable wad user gets. Plus I get a bonus during cleaning, I get to show a newbie a slimy snakeskin as I clean. Usually good for a laugh.
Fiber wads do have advantages if you are still playing around with the right shot weight to powder ratio. You can adjust up or down and still keep your crimp tight. Tight crimps are the hallmark of a good shot shell. And you will earn the admiration of all of your fellow shooters. They will sing songs about you and your shotshell prowess (that's the Nyquil talking...)
And you have the perfect press to begin your BP loading on. Easy to use, hard to mess up with, easy to clean up if you do mess up... It's easy to charge your shells off of the press with a funnel or even through it if you have the mind to. A very versatile machine.
