What is your intended use for the Saiga or Kel-Tec? Saiga for fun Kel-tec for a cheap truck gun
Want List : M-1 Gerand; Model 12 in 16 & 20 ga with mod or full choke; small form 40 cal or 45; any Belgium A-5 Browning in 20 ga,; Colt Python .357; stainless Colt Commander .45; Citori 20 ga upland; Browning A-Bolt Medallion 30-06; A-Bolt Medallion in .22 LR; Sig .45; Browning Superposed 12; Merkel 20 ga; to name a few.
Anybody here reload? I'm just before fixin' to start.
I reloaded back in the 90's early 2000's. I was never into perfecting custom loads to shoot tiny groups. I reloaded so I could shoot more, cheaper. Ammo got rock bottom cheap and I got away from it. Didn't get back in during the price gouging because components were nearly as high as loaded ammo and I had let most of my reloading gear go.
I've got the equipment for shotgun, rifle & pistol, but I'm most interested in shotgun shell reloading. It is a bit more complicated than I originally thought, especially with regard to steel shot for waterfowl hunting which was my original intent. At $18 to $25 per box of 25 on waterfowl loads, I thought it would be more economical. I have found, however, that all the components are unique to the individual manufacturer (and are impossible to locate), and with steel shot all reloading manuals strongly warn against interchange of components like wad and primer.

@Elderfalsedemigod I don't have a cool self defense gun. Wanting something besides my Glock 22.
Honestly I never reloaded for shotguns. I reloaded 9mm, .45acp and .357 in pistol calibers and 5.56/.223 and .308. I have a buddy that has a progressive shotgun press and he trades me usable empty hulls for credit toward reloaded skeet rounds.
Just a suggestion but for fun/cool factor look into an AR15 pistol length rig. I have a 7.5" 5.56 rig that I built and my carbine length ARs have taken a back seat to it. Best of both worlds with certain acceptable limitations in my opinion.

Can you buy one like that, or do you have to buy parts for it. I looked up pics of it and it's cool.
You can buy complete. 7.5" and 10" barrels are the most common. Check out Palmetto State Armory for some decent deals on complete rigs. I don't buy a lot from big box stores as I have several local guys that order for me at very competitive prices.

Also CORE and Diamondback are 2 lower/mid grade companies that offer complete pistol length ARs.
Ahh yes, the great primer shortage, and powder price gouging days.
As a loyal member of the State i have no weapons and no one should
