Cost of Hevi Shot & Remington HD

Okay, I was about to order some Hevi-Shot and reloading supplies because I am out of the stuff, but I noticed that there was one heck of a jump in the price. After some calculating, I determined that I can reload a 1 1/2 oz. load for just under $2. However, Hevi-Shot offers a 1 3/4 oz. load at 1,300 fps that I cannot duplicate and even if I could, it would cost me nearly the same amount.

What are you guys buying Hevi-Shot and Remington HD for? Give me some mail order places if possible. I looked at Bass Pro, and Remington HD there is in the $30 range. I found Hevi-Shot in 3 1/2" 1 3/4 oz loads at Midway for $26. I might just end up going that route if I cannot find anything better. For the couple of dollars I'll save it doesn't make sense to spend it behind the reloader. There used to be a time where I could reload a Hevi-Shot round for just slightly over a dollar. Those days are gone.
