 May 15, 2025 Reloading Study

Recob's pretty much has the lowest prices I can find.  I did a 12-guage reloading study

PRIMERS:  Cheddite 209 5000 for $259.99  or .05 each  $1.25 per box

SHOT:  25 lb for $52.99  or     $                 3.31 per box

POWDER:  Alliant Blue Dot  4lb for $ 161.19 (out of stock though)  or     $ 3.93 per box

                                            256 shells per lb

WADS:   Blue Dusters 5000 for $ 116.29  or        $ .58 per box

                            TOTAL:  $9.07 per box

I can reload 12-ga AA's for $9.07 per box.  Currently Recobs sells cases for $81.99 per box

                    I can not reload shells cheaper than I can buy them at this rate

                    Last year I accumulated a couple of cases for $89 each.  I will go by Recob's and pick off    

                    two more at the $82 price if I can get by there on the way to Sparta soon.  Meanwhile, I

                    have a couple cases of reloads to pull apart, some reloading supplies on my bench that I can

                    probably use to create a couple cases.  The biggest two items are shot and powder, so I need

                    to keep an eye out for bargains.

                    Powder:  to save a dollar a box $3.54 of powder would do it.  143.41 for 4 lb would be the

                        trigger point.

                    Shot:  to save a dollar a box 2.94 would do it.  $47.04 would be the trigger point
