I'm sure I've paid for at least one new outboard motor testing with Precision but money well spent.
Rotometals has consistently been the best source.

Never gotten any from Roto . First I got was #1 from Precision Reloading also the most expensive . I’ve since bought #2 , #4 and #4.5 from BPI . I am however considering a bag of #5 and a bag of #6 from Midway . . Seems to me what I got from Precision was 6.6 pounds and I believe the BPI was the same amount and what Midway has is five pounds . Price on this stuff seems to have down a bit , the first bag was $200 plus the second two were if memory serves about $125 a bag and these slightly smaller from Midway are $99.99 .

Craig a few weeks ago I found a online store that was having a closeout sale on tungsten matrix 20 gauge loads for 500rd cases for $350 which I added up was 35lbs of TM or $10/lb. At normal prices though I dont see TM being worth 2-3x the cost of bismuth.
Im trying to consolidate some of my reloading needs so I dont have 10 bags of different shot sizes/types. I dont really do enough high volume shooting at the moment for it to add up. Although if I keep shooting 25rd boxes of 8 gauge ammo during range trips that may change haha.
