RE: Is reloading really Cheaper?
I know you guys are brass reloaders, I am a die-hard 10 and 12 ga shotgun reloader. In my book and I keep records I can not even buy the loads I can reload. All are all very safe and proven loads from masters. Last night for grinns while at Bass-Pro they had a box of 10 ga Remington nitro-steel for $20.00. Thats .80 cents per shell and that load was set at 1380 FPS. My standard loads I am doing for the 10ga are set at 1590 FPS and at a cost of .60 cents per shell. With all the trap and skeet I do I can save over 4.40 per box.My walmart here sells the remington greens at 4.96 per box.(thats the only hull I use) I get the hulls for free at the club so just powder,shot wads and primer is all I need. I know I cheated alittle when I bought a 8475 progressive that does 6 shells at a time but I bought it from a friend for 100.00. Both my 10ga sizmaster and my 12ga steelmaster 3.5 cost me 180.00 from one person online.Deals can be had all over if you look. Not only that I can reload the night before or even a few before the hunt, try getting into your car and get what you need right then and there. Most of the times they are out or you got to drive to another place. Forget going to the one open on the way to the hunt it is twice the price.As for the question, Yes,reloading in my book saves me time and money.
