The only thing I might need/want, are more SPP's for the .38 spl, as my wife likes shooting powder puff loads I make for her. Factory ammo is available, but, like others have said, it's pricey. Glad I roll my own. Must say tho; powders seem to be getting a bit harder to find around here. Think I'm doing ok there tho.

Still having trouble with 410's at local stores.

In my area 410's are the new 22's.

But now there are 22's plentiful, lol.
That's why I reload 2 1/2 in & 3 in 410's. 12 's & 20 ga...........I also reload for every centerfire rifle and handgun I own. I cast bullets and pour my own #8 shot.

Never loaded shot shells, but I usually don't shoot that much of it anyway.
Now for the cf rifles and handguns, I load for every caliber that I own.
I do some casting also, but not for them all.

Many years ago when there was a local trap range, I loaded 12 ga. trap rounds using all plastic and I mean all plastic hulls. To me the only way that loading shotgun ammo pays is if you shoot a lot of the same load as in trap or skeet. Then you can buy in bulk the same components wads, powder etc. and make it worthwhile.If a box or two of this load or that is all you shoot, don't mess with shotshell reloading.

I seem to find what I want, online and in stores. Prices are not too bad. Now, it is a matter of setting aside time for shooting.

Might be wise to lay in some ammo before the price increases take effect, budget allowing.
