Is it worth it?

[Sebaz]

Hey everyone .
Was just wondering if its really worth the time and money in reloading your own ammo. ...
12 gauge to be more specific .. For skeet shooting... Everywhere I look its saying not worth it but then I wonder why people would be .. You can buy federal at canadian tire for 29.99 plus tax for 100 rounds. So about .34cents each...
Any info would be great if it saves money or not.. Or is it just to say you do it?
Thanks in advance...

I dont think it is

No not for target loads the lead price is crazy

for generic target loads, no factory is the same cost or cheaper.

if you load for buckshot, slugs or custom weights then it is worth it. OR if you have access to cheap lead AND a shot maker then it's cheaper to load your own not including time.

not worth it for clay shooting. most gun shops around here sell a box of 250 shells for $55 + tax

 

[rookie wildcat]

Only worth it if you want to tailor your loads for specific patterns or performance. Multiple disks to separate shot in the cup, for instance, will alter the pattern...

Buy it in bulk, 250 shells/box. Usually around $60.

Sweet
Thanks for the info ..
90% of it would be for clays.
So it's not hard to know what I will do.

It all depends on whether you think ammo will be readily available in the future. Look at the ammo shortages occurring in the U.S.
