What did you do at your reloading bench today?

Fast and Furious, just don't blink ! ! ! ! I bet it was fun in the wind ! Wish I was there !

Do you buy your shot local RnG or online. Local club here has it for 55.00 25lb bag. But Ive checked around where I live and cant seem to locate much. I see roro metals has it for 70.00 delivered if you buy 150.00 worth.

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.

I bought some hulls from Billy D’s supplies. Remington STS hulls. Bought 500 last year. They are good hulls. Been using Universal Clays and a claybuster wad with 8.5 shot. Think we are using bushing 21 for powder.

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.

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.

Appreciate the info, if I am ever in the area I will do so. Its about a 2 hour drive for me.
