Just found a lee load all ll in stock for $50. Is that a good basic shell press for the beginner? Yes it is. The LoadAll is a good little basic shotshell reloader. It's slow, and it's plastic, but it makes good ammunition. There are better ones out there, but the Lee makes good,serviceable ammunition. I've reloaded thousands of rounds (perchance tens of thousands?) of shotshell ammo on one of these things.
One caution, though. With shotshells, you've got to pay attention to the recipe. If you change one thing, you've changed everything. Pay attention to your primer, your powder, your wad, everything that you load into the hull. If you change wads, for example, you might get into an overpressure situation fairly rapidly.
Alliant offers a slideshow tutorial, but nothing will take the place of a good manual, like the Lyman Manual.
