Given the price jumps on ammo lately, I think the old stock that I'm buying will run out soon, and I'll be back to rolling my own.
Good luck.
I can sure relate to that.....even steel isn't worth the time as one has a lot invested in components and most of us only shoot a couple boxes a year.....Winchester Expert steel is a great shell and about the same as I can load in cost.
It's still a good pasttime and to a degree therapeutic but economical isn't what it once was.
