@@831sabino Pity, at 60 cent it's far cheaper to just buy new shells all the time. ( here in Ireland anyway) A box of 25 clay shells ( almost always 1oz of 7.5 shot) is costing about $8.50 (US currency)
A person can load for about 34-35 cents (not counting taxes) if they started right now. -Lead $60 for 25 lbs= 15 cents for 1 oz -Powder 10 cents. That would be using some of the cheaper options like Titegroup - wads = 2.5 cents - cheddite primers = 6 cents The biggest savings on shotgun loading is cheap lead and cheap powder. They are your biggest expense for sure.
