All fine and good if one has a local source with competitive pricing. Winnipeg with WSP and Cabelas Canada not stocking shot, wads, powder in larger than 1 lb cans, having components especially powder shipped is ridiculously expensive.
And they ain't selling top guns or any other target shells for less than $65. Plus taxes per flat.
Just finished a Winnipeg group buy from Higginsons out of Ontario. You could have purchased large bulk quantities of several popular shotgun propellants. Good news is that I'm sure another group buy from Manitoba's capital region will happen again in the next year or so. Have to keep your eyes open here on CGN.
I get my wads from the US, Claybuster clones for 10 bucks/500. Shot was 24 dollars/bag and has now gone up to 32. STS primers are 34 dollsrs/1000 in Grand Forks but we can't buy that stuff down there legally.
It's like putting a puzzel together. Once good quantities of the components needed to load your pet load are obtained then just a matter of putting it all together into live ammo.
The last batch of trap loads I loaded were 7/8 oz loads and calculated it cost me $4.18 per box to load.
