My advice would simply be, buy the powder. Even if you choose another recipe, there are lots of people who would love to have 7625 to hang on 'just a little longer' to the tried and true 16ga. load. All components are fluctuating in availability, and we need to watch out for others, as well as ourselves.
Other recent threads have popped up where people are looking for shells, and reloading is still less expensive. Not only that, but the shot weight and size is within your control, rather than compromising with what's on the shelf.
Give or take a penny or two, I know my 28s are $7.25 per box with once fired hulls, and $11.00 with NPEs.
At $21.00 per box retail, you only need to load 35 boxes to amortize the cost of a 600Jr press.

Reason: spelling, as usual.
