[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2460948, member: 5412"] Unless I'm loading for premium shells like pheasant loads or turkey loads, I agree, you don't save much, but its good to have some components around in case you can't get to town, or there is a run on them like .22. Go online to some of the powder manufacturers. They will list specific loads for specific hulls as well as the approximate velocity the reloader can expect using that combination. Not all hulls are the same, and the powder/wad/shot has to be the correct height or your final crimp won't work. There are no universal wads. Old AA hulls, take a different combination than the newer AA hulls, as they have made some design changes. You can use reclaimed lead shot to save money. Its a mix of shot from #8 to #6 and holds a fair pattern out to 30 yds. Its almost half of new shot. [/QUOTE]
