Huntnfish Report post Posted December 27, 2024 Hey fellas, anybody that is reloading 12 ga. shells have a general cost per box. I just got a mec hydraulic and a bunch of once fired AA hulls that were at my sister's that my dad used when we shot a lot of sporting clays . Just trying to figure out if it is worth it, as I want to start shooting clays again. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted December 27, 2024 A couple of guys I shoot with back here in KY said they're loading for about $6.50-$7 a box. I'm not sure how much the price of components varies locally. I sold all my stuff back in 2008ish when shot prices went sky high. I was going to load 28's but couldn't find components, especially primers here. Good luck! I sent you a pm.

10Turkeys Report post Posted December 27, 2024 It's been about a year since I have loaded any shotgun shells. I don't know about now, but then components were spotty, and shot when you could find it, was pricey. Surprisingly primers were always available. I got mine from Bruno's in a 1500 count package, that were European made. There was a site that calculated the cost of a box of shells when you entered the cost of your components in. I'm sure Google can help you with that. The Federal 100 pack from Walmart might be your best bet. A lot of guys didn't like to use Federal shells, but as someone once told me, if you have your barrel pointed in the right spot when you pull the trigger, it really doesn't matter which shell you are using. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
