Thought I was in good shot shell loading shape until my grandson was virtual school 20-21 school year. Terrible thing for a 13 year old. No middle school virtual classes on Mondays signed him up for Skeet lessons with a very good lady instructor. 2 pm every week fall of 2020. . He took well to it, switched him to Sporting clays early 2021 no more skeet. It’s amazing how many shotgun shells a young teenager can shoot. Most lessons were 100-150 shells.
Running low on primers until a friend found 25,000 new WW 209’s with a gun snow dealer who thought the market peaked at 55 dollars a thousand. He bought them all, my share was case of 5000. That case down to 2000, recent expensive Brownells purchase topped me up.
Latest with the grandson is lower volume better practice. Small course owner near me has switched us to 5 shot 10 station rounds. Single, report pair, true pair. All from different traps no repeats. It’s way more fun than banging out multiple pairs off the same two traps. We still shoot full courses at times the small volume quality target course is improving his skills while conserving ammo.
