You may want to check what that bushing #32 actually throws with your powder scales. I am a huge fan of MEC products but I have found that their powder bushings usually throw lighter charges than what is shown in their tables. When I find that to be the case I usually buy a couple of bushings in the next larger sizes and use the one that throws closest to (but just under) the charge I need. Someone else said they got one of the adjustible charge bars. I have one too but found, though it works fine, that the adjustments are cumbersome and you still have to check the charges thus thrown with an accurate powder scales. It's also probably cheaper just buying extra bushings.
If you decide to start loading 20 ga. shells I'd advise buying another whole new press in that guage rather than getting a conversion kit. Changing back and forth frequently will become a hassle.
If you haven't already bought one, I'd strongly advise getting a copy Lyman's shotshell loading manual. It is very comprehensive, is well suited to a beginner, and has a huge number of loads.
Lastly I'd also suggest buying only target grade shot. It'll cost a little more but, at least in my humble opinion, you'll get results which will be worth it.
