Stick to published loads and if you're loading for steel, take a look at the MEC Steelmaster.

I would also take a long look at the The Lyman Shotshell Reloading Handbook, 5th Edition (http://www.lymanproducts.com/lyman/publications/shotshell-5.php)
Seriously, stick to published and tested loads. You can't monkey around with shotgun shells like you can with reloading center fire.
Take everything you learned about reloading thus far, throw it out the window, and make sure you are loading compatible components designed for your application. Specifically, steel wads, powder compatible for steel, and good hulls.
