That's a big part of why I reload, although when I finally got involved in shooting on my own, the idea that I was going to tool up to reload was a foregone conclusion because that's how Dad always did it.
I'm not quite as far down the rabbit hole as he was though - he was also a bullet caster. I'd do that too except that it's too big of a challenge to find a cheap source of lead here in Central Maryland, although to be fair, I haven't tried terribly hard yet.
The shotgun thing has been fun though - at this point, since I bought the press in January, I've run roughly 2,500 shells through that press, simply as a means to keep myself in range fodder for the trap field.
What does it cost you per round to reload shotgun. Is it all 12 gauge or some other like 20?
