Ammo Cost

[skeet]

On buying any lead shot for a while. The price of lead has dropped on the futures market. Shot prices follow lead futures by 6-8 weeks. Of course some of the lead companies will keep the price of shot up just to gouge buyers...at least for a while. The bad thing about some of the promo loads is that they aren't as good as your reloads. Some of them like the dove and quail loads are actually pretty terrible. I did buy some(alot) of the Estate shells in 12 20 28 and 410 target loads. 12 ga 1 oz were 33 as was the 20 ga loads..the 28 and 410 were 50 bucks . Last week I bought 6 cases of Estate 410's from a shooter in Md for 40 bucks a case. Also got a full(20 box) case of Remington 28 ga target loads(old style) for 5 bucks a box. Think I am a litttle crazy as I really don't need any more shells. Must have 30,000 once fired empties to load anyway.

BTW Fabs. If you only knew how many bags of shot I sold in the past for under 5 bucks a bag! Last shot I bought was just 'fore the price went crazy...late July and it was still 21 bucks(wholesale) for ton lots or more.
