Cost of reloading components ??

I'm at $ 37.10 a flat for 1 oz. reloads and $ 47.31 all-in, for "promotional"
type factrories.

Not a hardship rolling a flat or two off the P-W in the evening after dinner, and actually prefer my reloads to promo shells. For lower cost factory stuff, for shoots, I find 28 gram Gamebore "White Gold" & "Blue Diamond" shotshells to be very good.
 
Somewhere in the above text somone mentioned getting 600 loads out of 25 lbs. of shot.......even using 1oz. of shot you would only get 400 from a bag of shot!!
 
My 1 ounce 12 gauge loads are running just around $4.25 a box. I could reduce that cost somewhat by going to less expensive powder but I like the performance I'm getting from American Select.
 
Ok the cost calculation is in. I payed the following.
$105.85 for 5000 wads
$24.36 for 25lbs of western shot. ( I can get other shot cheaper but I just haven't as of yet)
$150 for 5000 primers
$120 for 8lbs of Promo powder.

Cost per box $3.90 which is better than $5.00 a box that I was paying so I am happy.

And you are getting better loads. Western shot is good stuff compared to the #### companies often load into their cheap promotional loads.
