New Powders and Primers on the Horizon

[matt koepnick]

Ya, the 28 cost savings was the main reason I got into shot shell reloading years ago. Of course an "expensive" case back the was close to 50 bucks.. Took a little while, but once I worked out the crimp bugs on the 28, I quickly jumped onto the MEC JR bandwagon and my 16, and 12 loads all fell into place relatively easy.
As I'm older these days, I'm especially glad to get to reload my low pressure 7/8 and
1 OZ 12's which are soft shooting in Liteweight 12 Bores.

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 .
