Ammo Cost

[gold40]

With lead shot @ $40/bag, I can now buy 12 or 20 gauge promo ammo for less than the cost of my reloads.

Reloads cost about $4.70/box for components. Some stores still have promo loads for $40 to $44 per case. I just bought 10 cases, and then cleaned out my MEC 8625 reloader.

If you shoot many clay birds with a 12 or 20, its probably a good time to stock up on promo loads. My local gunshop owner tells me his next big order will cost him $52 per case.

It is still cheaper to reload the other small gauges.
