>>Well, I reload 12ga. Definitely NOT cost-effective. But I can load any type of shell I want, and have fun doin’ it. So to me, it’s worth it.
I tried to get into skeet and sporting clays about 20 years ago and started loading my own 12 ga shells to get the perfect pattern. But, now my 12ga is for nothing but buckshot and slugs, so I just buy those.
I do reload some #7 1/2 and #4 shot (for target shooting and skeet), but I mostly reload 00 Buck, #4 Buck, F-Buck, BB-shot and (Lyman Sabot) slugs.
