Default Shotgun reloading supplies
I was wondering if anyone knows of a good place to buy reloading supplies for shotshells? If i were to buy my components at Wholesale or Bass pro it would be cheaper for me to just buy their premium target loads at $8 to $10 a box. Seems kinda pointless to load for clays. If anyone know where one could find reasonable priced powder, wads, shot etc. please let me know.

Thanks

I don't think that you can hand load 12 gauge much cheaper than buying new, if you factor in the amount of time it takes to load, etc.
You have to load very high volume to make it feasible.

However, if you are shooting sub gauge like I do, it is a viable option, for sure.
The price of 28 gauge ammo is staggering to buy , even in volume.
here is where I buy most of my stuff.

Components sometimes go on sale in stores, m but it seems everything is getting expensive these days!
Shot and powder isn't getting any cheaper, and wads are getting hard to access for private guys to import , as well.

I have gone to Poppa Rays alot myself. Best prices anywhere and I don't have to leave the house! lol

For you, Will Bilozir and Donna Jones are closer,(the site Cat mentioned above) in De Winton. If you go there though, you may need a blindfold so as not to be tempted by the F.A.I.R. and other shotguns they sell! Their prices are not quite as low as Poppa Ray's though! lol

Welcome to the forum!

O.W.

Now that right there is just TOO funny!
Rudegger, BTW, if you get some friends together you can get a 21lb. order from Andrew and tom Higginson CEAP from
Higginson Powders in Hawksbury Ontario.
They pay the HAZMAT on a 21lb. porder, and their prices are super right off the bat.
