shoot2thrillu 10 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 since i converted my s12 iv noticed how easy and expensive bulk ammo packs are becoming. so recently i got a shotshell reloader and started reloading. havent had time to shoot more than a clip yet but i can already see the savings. im using remi gun club hulls with 18 grains of red dot and shooting 7/8 oz loads. do you load your own or buy em? i just cant keep going out and buying bulk packs "just because" getting expensive.

Fallschirmjager667 729 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 so, you found one of these that holds shotgun shells? 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun12 205 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 If you are loading birdshot it isn't worth it but if you are loading slugs and buckshot then you might save a few bucks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
45Bretired 19 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I buy Walmart Winchester Universal Bulk. $21 and some change for 100. I found out what most people and most Saiga 12's won't run and built mine to run it like a sewing machine for the simple reason that if it'll run this crap with my TAC47 auto plug then it'll run anything. I don't think I could reload any cheaper than this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lbsrdi 1,078 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 In my opinion this thread is pointless. What the fck does blowing loads with clips even mean. Carry on... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
montec 164 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I'm still buying fed bulk pack, but mine are getting closer to $25 each. I've come to realize that loading target loads is about the same +/- in some cases. Buck and Slugs will save you a ton. Plus I've got all set up for reloading shells, I need to just add some to my big tub so I can start. You gotta buy new sometime to start loading your own. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banshee 69 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) I shoot Hornady TAP 00BUCK and some Remington 00 BUCK when I am just messing around. Edited August 7, 2012 by Banshee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RED333 1,025 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 I buy the cheap bulk, open the crimp, melt the shot and make these, and "00" buck. The Lyman slug will dent a 1/4 steel plate, The Lee just splater. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

shoot2thrillu 10 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 hell im reloadin my shells for roughly 9 cents a piece. thats half the price of bulk pack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris2000ss 2 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 i reload my own shotshells, loading buck shot and slugs is were the savings are. I can buy a case of 250 federal game loads for 49.00 and hell bag of #6 shot is 40 bucks.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shoot2thrillu 10 Posted August 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 just redid math for everything iv bought for reloading and for me to make 400 rounds atleast will cost me 4 cents a round. but keep in mind i also got about 55 gallon drum+ of hulls 1000 wads and 100 primers for free. stuff i have bought are: 7 1/2 shot 25lbs.------30.00 1lb red dot powder---22.00 1000 primers----------35.00 --------------------------------- 87.00 and iv made 350+ rounds and prob got enough gunpowder and lead for 200+ seems way cheaper to me and alot more fun cause i get to shoot 4x more for pennys.
