Rio shotshells are the cleanest burning I have ever used. You can shoot 3-4 boxes of hvy field loads and don't even see a need to swab the barrel. Same with their low base target loads. Rio shells used to be the cheapest available at S. Warehouse but now others have come down a bit and Rio's are up a bit so they're about the same. The high base hulls reload very well using a wad from BPI that lets you duplicate the 3-3/4dram 1-1/4oz load. They take the European primer but they seem readily available these days and are cheaper than Winchesters. I hope they make shot available for a reasonable price.

I got ahold of the Rorometals folks and may be sending and selling them at least 200# of Sn-based babbit bars that I have here "in stock" and holding the outhouse down in case of a tornado. The payback will likely be the best payoff yet from all my decades of junk collecting around Alaska.

$22? I'd be buying it also John. Nice that they wash and recoat it. That lead oxide dust is nasty stuff if you breathe it.
