Hey Al, good to hear from you. Glad to see that you're diving into shotgunning. It is fun; just another aspect of shooting. Enjoy!

Thanks Tom. Last year in Texas I got into skeet shooting with the guys down here and have just been doing more of it this year. Its humbling shooting skeet. Just bought a CZ Redhead Target in 20 ga. Love the gun.

I have not had any luck finding shot in any LGS. I have to order it online. I have ordered from rotometals (right now they have (2) 25 lb bags of 7.5 Eagle Magnum for $140.00 with no shipping fees. I have also used Powder Valley, Precision Reloading and Ballistic products for shot and wads.

$55.00 for 25 pounds is a pretty good deal.

Are you able to buy once fired hulls from your gun club? Unfortunately for me I am so rural I have to drive an hour and a half to get to a trap/skeet range. Most of my trap is from my Champion launcher on a wobble base.

What do you figure you have in loading a 20ga shell RnG? I just did some math( ya I know thats hard to believe) I come up with .34 cents each. Im seeing shells for sale close to that. This reloading shotgun almost isnt worth it.

I only load 12 gauge, and the math is beyond me (I even used a calculator, rubics cube and a metric slide rule) and couldn't figure it out.
Same thing in Az, for whatever reason shotshells are a heck of a better price than metallic.

Even at that, I would rather store empty hulls and components than a case of shot-shells and load as I need. Anyway, keeps me off the streets at night!

Check out True Shot in Tempe RnG there prices for 12 ga are really good.
