? For the shotgun reloaders
Ok so I just got done shooting my first 3 rounds of Trap in 20 years or so. Shot some Sporting Clays in the mean time but not Trap. I think I'm getting the bug again.
So my main question is what are you guys paying per box to reload 12gauge. I know my rifle and pistol reloads to the penny per round. I need to know if it's going to be effective to reload what I might shoot.
And thanks as always.www.Steelvalleycasting.com is your new home for coated bullets and custom ammo.

Re: ? For the shotgun reloaders
It's not so effective for 12 and 20 ga. rounds because you can buy them for about the same as you can reload, Less than $5.00 a box. I save when I reload for 16 ga, 28 ga, and .410, $8 to $10 a box. But I reload them all because I like to. I like to load a 12ga 7/8 at 1000 and can do that when I reload.

Shot is the biggest variable but currently it cost me $ 4.265 to load 1 oz loads with the cheapest components .But then again I like to reload .

Ducati,
Yes, you can buy darn cheap 12 ga. at Walmart, etc. When I reloaded I aimed for light light loads in order to keep from having the crap kicked out of me the more I shot. (My all time high was 12 boxes of 25 in one afternoon)
Economy is not the only reason to reload.

Re: ? For the shotgun reloaders
Thanks for the replies all. Well for as much shooting as I'm going to do its just not worth it for me. I already reload for over 10 rifle/pistol calibers and don't need to spend that much time for that little savings considering I need the equipment an all. But thanks again.
