So I've been recreationally shooting trap/skeet once a week for about 2 years now, and I typically shoot 4-5 rounds at a time. Since a case of Topgun shells are $70/case here, I've decided to throw around the idea of reloading. However, after shopping around and finding the best prices I can locally / mail order, and putting them into a price calculator, I can barely break even. Is this what things are generally costing people to reload nowadays? All prices are CDN.
Primers: 1000 for $53
Powder (20gr. load): 1lb for $30
Wads: 250 for $9
Shot (1 oz loads): 25lb for $40 (this seems really high, but 2 local places and one mail order charge this)
Hulls: n/a
This makes the cost of a box of 12g shells $6.87. That means I only save $1.30 over buying a full case of topguns.
Anything wrong here?
