The problem is that for hunting how many shots are you going to fire in a
year? The steel 3" I've been buying are $25/box, by the time I buy the bag of
shot and powder etc it doesn't make sense for the 1 or 2 boxes I'll shoot a
year. I'd also have to shoot a bunch to get the 3" hulls.
The only time I can see reloading make sense now is for esoteric stuff like
bismuth...

My Load-All has been on a shelf in my parents' basement since about 1990.
If I still hunted, I'm sure I could buy copper plated shot and make the 2 3/4"
magnums the loader is configured for much cheaper than I could buy premium ammo.
But 1 1/8oz standard velocity chilled lead? No way I can build my own for less
than factory.
