Christ. Last time I bought a bag of shot it was 16 bucks for 25 lbs. Yeah, it was a while back. LOL I gave up reloading shot shells a long time ago. I think you have to be a big time trap and skeet shooter to really justify it and then only because you can tailor your loads and produce better patterns than you can buy. Cost wise, it's a dead end deal.
I get lead for my pistol reloading pretty cheap, as in free from the backstop at the range. About 30 minutes and I can pick up a big coffee can full, about 15-20 lbs. I once saw a shot making machine, but it was rather expensive and I seriously doubt the quality of the shot it could produce. All in all, I'd rather just go buy shot shells at Wallyworld. Hell, I shoot more steel than I do lead now days anyway. I shoot lead on dove, but mostly duck hunt. I've been duck hunting for 40 years and can't shake the habit.
