100% agree!! The ammo prices have rised but when i see it i just buy a box or two. Over time it adds up but you can barely tell, i don't mind recoil so i shoot year round. I like to stay familiar with all of my firearms as much as I can. As far as the topic on the ko slugs, i used them in my 12g to try out and was not a fan honestly, little inconsistent. I shoot with iron sights on my slug barrel. On paper i would not go with anything else other then Rem accutip or Hornady SST. I personally see better results with and prefer the SST.
