Money Saved

I do a lot of shotgun shooting. When i was shooting 12 and 20 gauge i never bothered to reload because it just did not save me enough money to bother with it. Not into competition I've never had the need to worry about custom loads. Walmart shells served the purpose just fine and in fact still do for those gauges.
It all changed when i started shooting 410 shotshells at $10 a box even at Walmart. My 18th box of reloaded shells will pay for the new in box mec 600Jr 410 reloader I bought in full.
Then it gets real cheap to reload my 410 shotshells.
Most people do not use so many 410 shells i know but I like the challenge of the smaller shells used in trap and skeet.
Now if i could just hit something with it......................... :banghead:
