Default Do you reload shotgun shells?

Used to reload everything including steel 12 ga, now it’s just some specific 12ga (1-1/4x6@1230)(12x3x1-3/4x5)(20ga 1x6@1250)(410x3x6)

Yes. 12 ga trap loads in Win AA hulls. Cost of components is getting so high that I can usually buy low end factory loads for about the same price...and no time invested.

No, but I'd like to start again. When I was in gr 8, my dad split the cost of a Ponsness Warren 375 Duomatic with me. He let me set it up in the dining room. I had lots and lots of fun. Back then you could save lots of money. Now not so much with 12 gauge. Smaller gauges you can still save.

Dick, thanks for the good threads you have been posting. Not just your run of the mill 270 vs 30-06 jobbies. Sorry some have gone sideways on you. Don't let that get you down.

I reload a few thousand each 28 gauge and 410 skeet loads every year, because I can save 50% over factory loads. I don't load 12 or 20 gauge target loads or hunting loads.

Where are you guys finding the best prices on components?
I just traded for a Hornady 366, and I've never reloaded anything in my life.
With the price of target loads steadily rising, I'm trying to hedge my bets.
