As I've mentioned in this thread, the Boss 16 gauge shells are, well, I won't say reasonable, but they aren't $6/shell. I can reload cheaper in today's market, but only slightly. By my current calculations I'm saving about $.20/shell. If I had the time to wait for everything to be available locally, I'd save more. Shot is the biggest expense, and I paid more for sphero-bismuth than what I could have bought rotometals for. Not because I thought the slightly rounder sphero would pattern all that much better, but that I didn't realize how the discounts for multiple 10# bags of rotometals worked until I'd already made an order. Shot being the most expensive component, it would have saved me a fair amount more. But if you just want to shoot your 16s, I'd check out Boss. They're consistently cheaper than hevi-bismuth, etc.
