When I first started loading for shotguns back in the mid 80’s I think I could load a box of 410’s for $1.50 , 28’s a dollar more , 20’s about the same and 12’s for less than $3 . A big part of getting better component prices was BUY IN QUANTITY which is a practice I’ve pretty much followed my entire reloading career .
