I just picked up 10 flats of 12 ga one and one eighth ounce loads for $45.00/ flat or $4.50 a box. These are for my nephews to use for high school trap. They haven't realized that the amount of shot is not what's important.
That is 15-25 cents a box over what one can reload an equivalent load at today's prices for components. Even though my equipment paid for itself decades ago, it doesn't make sense to reload these 12 ga target loads at current prices. Even my standard 7/8 oz loads only save about 60 cents per box at current prices. I like this weight as it is easy on the shoulder and stretches a bag of shot. Screw in improved modified and/or full chokes and one is set for any shot.
Back on topic- those who buy their 12 ga target loads haven't had it so good i
