Charlie,
The Hevi-metal which is a combination of Hevi-shot and steel costs about $32 a box in 3 1/2" 12 gauge. The 3" shells are about $27 a box. I use pure Hevi-shot for turkeys, but I can't afford $4.50+ a shell for geese where I might shoot a half of a box on a good day. Even if I reload 1 1/2 ounces of all Hevi-shot or HeavyWeight 13 which is similar, it costs me nearly $3 a shell. To me it is not worth the time to do it when the Hevi-metal seems to work well on geese for $1.35 a shell. It shows a mixture of half Hevi-shot and half steel, but it comes out at 1500 fps which I can't reload since I don't have the formula.
