4 Fingers, Howdy!
Nowhere do I remember reading what kind of powder you plan to use. If you're planning on using Black Powder, the only thing you'll need is a way to prime them (at least better than the hammer method.) If you use BP you won't NEED to resize them. Probably.
Circle-Fly is the way to go. If you're loading BP in the Magtechs, you'll need 11ga over
powder and 11 ga spacer wads. You'll need 10 ga over
shot wads. If loading PLASTIC shells, the 12 ga and 11 ga wads will be OK, but the brass is thinner walled and therefore needs the larger wads.
I can give you no advice if you plan to use a plastic shotcup and smokeyless powders. Around here, if I need that type of shell, the local retailers sell it cheaply enough that hand-loading isn't necessary.
BP, on the other hand, is all I shoot in my Magtechs. I have an old Bonanza Coax single-stage press with their priming addition on the top.

I use a depriming punch from an old Lee 8mm (8X57) Mauser hand loading set. A steel clutch line-up tool I made in a machine shop for my old Subaru serves me to compress the powder. I use waterglass (sodium silicate) to seal it all up. No crimp. Shoots great and has knocked down or swung (sp?
) many shotgun targets.
Now here's some shotgun info as told to me by Nate "Kiowa" Jones, a renown gun mechanic. I've found it to be true. If you have a shotgun with loooong forcing cones, like many today, a plastic shotcup (generally) works best. I'm talking patterns here. If you have a shotgun with to older shot forcing cones, the plastic shotcup isn't needed so much - it'll work fine, but using card wads and no shotcup (like me) works as well. And is cheaper for the handloader. You see, the plastic shotcup will hold the pellets together better while it goes down the long forcing cone than a wad will.
When I had my Stoeger, that had long forcing cones, it did fine with either type of shell, but if I'd ever had the opportunity to properly pattern the shot, I'll bet that what Nate said would be shown. Now I have an old Tula hammer double, (made in the 1970s or early 80s) with short cones, and it does just fine.
Have fun - whatever ya choose!
