I know I can but shells as cheep or cheaper BUT... I did a cost check for the last 400 -12 gauge shot shells I loaded.  I did 100- 3 1/2" 1 1/2 oz and 300 -3" 1 1/4 oz shells. The total cost not counting the press and time,LOTS of time,was $168 thats $.42 each or $10.50 a box of 25. Wal mart has 3" for around $9 but 3 1/2 are more like $25, and I have a bigger payload and as fast as there lighter loads,SOOO. I feel for Premium shells I doing it a little cheaper than to buy them and there talor made for our shooting and guns. In my mind thats = priceless.  I have on order some more hulls and shot for another 100 3's and 100 3 1/2's and think they will be a tich cheaper, I won't have to buy any wads.  ------------- Remember: Four boxes keep us free ,the soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, AND the cartridge box |
