out replacing all our cleaning gear (from being stolen :fire: ) at Sportsman Warehouse and I just walk down the aisle to the shells, you know, just to see.

Estate 12ga: $4.19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cuss: wow, last year they were 3.29 or 3.39 normally and on sale for 2.99

Then, walk over to the AA and STS

6.50 a box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:what:
They were 4.99 last year

Woof, building up all those reloading shells is looking smarter and smarter.

Unfortunately, the cost of hulls, primers, powder, and shot have all gone up too. :( On a happy note, I think WAD prices have stayed the same. :) NailGun

I saw the spike in reloading stuff coming. I bought 2,000 lbs of shot and have a 55 gallon drum of once fired AA 12 and another full of AA HS 28. Grafs has Fiocchi shotshell primers on sale and I bought 30 maybe 40K. I already had plenty of powder. After all, I had to be able to play with my new Spolar.

I also stocked up on pistol and rifle bullets.

I hope the floor of my garage doesent start to sink...
