Ah, but it's more fun to reload. I keep shot from buckshot to 9's and can have any load I want from target to hunting without having to wait for them or pay the high cost. And I also think they'te better than any factory load. Paul

No Pete, I'm not selling RST's.

I'm sure you're correct about reloading and I am a casual shooter so I have no reason to try to optimize my scores by reloading so I have never involved myself in reloading but if there was no RST I'm sure I would have by now. I have done a lot of casual shooting (where scores don't matter much to me) and the products made by Alex and Morris have always been more than adequate for my purposes - those purposes being dead gamebirds when I hit them and broken clays on the informal shoots I engage in.
To those who load their own.... Power to ya

Dean my use of the term casual shooter is not in reference to one's intensity or desire to optimize their performance i.e. scores. Fact is scores are 95% shooter and 5% equipment. Casual was a reference to the volume of shells one uses annually on both game and clays. In 10 ga especially, at $1.20 per shell, the RST's do not appeal to a high volume shooter, in fact at $30 for a single round of trap they are unappealing to me.

There are also differences in the intensity of people who reload, for instance Scott was pattern testing today in the rain and snow for hours. Me I am a reloader who is satisfied to know what time it is, Scott on the other hand wants to figure out how the clock works

I noticed that about Scott...

At the New Year's Day shoot at Major Waldron's I asked Scott where the men's room was and he spent the next fifteen or twenty minutes telling me how to build mortise and tenion post and beam outhouse using scaled down hand-sawn lumber.... damn near wet my pants

Dave, there is actually a shooter at Major Waldron's that does that. Seems like it might be a little bit OCD
