I shoot about 2 cases of steel a year. I buy a case before the season at my local cabelas. I shoot winchest xpert loads 3 in 1550 fps. 99 a case. Would i save any money reloading them my self?

If you can buy wholesale and not pay Hazmat fees. Also buy specials. I paid $68 for 5000 plrimers twice. I'm originally from Iowa and go back two times a year and pick up my Primers at Crows Supply in Brooklyn, Ia. I will be getting powder there also this summer. I buy STEEL in the 4 lb containers but heard that Alliant is now only furnishing 1 lb containers. I shoot mostly 7/8 oz and 1 oz loads for geese, ducks, pheasants and doves. They run over 1700 fps in my 035. Your home loads will generally perform better than factory loads. My 7/8 oz loads are costing me $4.47 abox. However prices have jumped. Good luck, Ned S

Here's a link for a reloading calculator .... will tell you what you'll save (or cost yourself) by loading shells yourself

I've still been buying 4 lbers regularly. What exactly did you hear Ned? Any alleged date of them being discontinued?

I can buy wholesale at Gene Sears thru my friends FFL. I generally go thru there about six times a year. Next time thru I'm buying powder and shot. Not much discount on shot. I was paying $46 for 4 lbs the last time I bought. Ned S
