We'll Bills in Claremore thinks it brings about $42 plus tax now days for the good hardern shot. Make the 1 1/8 value pack at Walmart look good since reloading supplies have gone up.
China has been buying up lead and driving up the price. Add in LEAD is heavy and costly to ship ($4 gal for diesel). Factories LOADING ammo as fast as they can = less components for distribution. Yeah, prices are up, don't HOPE for much CHANGE, anytime soon.
The only shotshells I have loaded in the past 5 yrs have been .410. 12's and 20's, I can buy cheaper, but can't bring myself to pay $10 - $20 for a box .410.
