No, I’ll Continue to Buy My Lead Shot, Thanks

I’m never opposed to making shooting more affordable. I load my own own shotgun shells and am surprised more shooters don’t do it. For a cash outlay starting around $150 (depending on the press – less if you buy one used) you can easily knock $1.00 to $1.50 off the price of a box of 25 shells compared to retail. If you shoot much at all, that’s a pretty quick return on your investment. I know the price of a bag of #8 has gone through the roof in the last couple of years, but casting your own shot? I’m not sure molten lead is something I really want to mess around with. It’s always been a personal goal of mine to never spend any time in a burn unit. Who knows, I might even be able to get my insurance agent to pay me not to install one of these babies. Lemme see…where is his number again?
