I reload on a Hornady LNL AP press for handgun and rifle and am considering getting into reloading shotgun shells. What are the economics of reloading shotgun? I'd be reloading 00 buck mostly and some 4 shot for game and either 6 or 8 for clays. I haven't bought any regular shotgun shells for a really long time. Aren't winchester and Remington boxes of 25 running around $4 or $4.50? I remember when you could get all you wanted at wallyworld for $3 a box. Should have bought several cases.
I'm thinking I'll save a lot of money on reloading buckshot. Cabelas price for 10 boxes of 25 of Estate is over $110. That comes to about $11 a box minus shipping. What would it cost to reload 25 myself. I saw that I could get 500 high brass hulls on ebay for around $30-40.
I'm thinking I'll get the Lee Load All 2 to start with. That way if I don't like doing shotgun, I won't be out much. I believe it comes with everything needed to get started.
