Since the increase in the price of ammo, does anyone know the cost of Nitro and Rem. Wingmaster HD? Last year the HD's were $20.00 for a box of 5. I'm sure they are more now. Nitros were very high before, so I can't imagine how high they are now.
I'm sure that they're even more. My mentality used to be that I would use the cheapest ammo that I could find. Until I sat down and actually added up the amount of money I've spent trying to find the "perfect load", I didn't realize exactly how much money I had spent on cheap ammo! I would've been waaaaay ahead of the game had I just went out and bought a box of the premium ammo. I only shoot the good stuff now. I figure that I can skimp on calls, clothes, boots and even the shotgun, if need be, but the only thing that I have that actually touches the bird is the ammo that I'm shooting. I want that to be the best there is.
I have to agree with Simp, I tested a lot of lead turkey loads and with one box of Rem. hevi-shot last year I made a large jump ahead in pattern density over anything I tried previously. Should have started there in the first place, but then again maybe I wouldn't have appreciated the difference as much.
