[QUOTE="hubmonkey, post: 893403, member: 107"] Better do the calculations because in 12GA you don't see real savings, especially at 1 1/8th ounce loads. Unless you plan on working up some really light loads (7/8 of or even 3/4 ounce) you will see no real savings compared to WM Remington, Winchester, and Federal value packs. Here is a online shotshell calculator for you to calculate the real price of loading with components. [url]http://10xshooters.com/calculators/ShotshellReloadingCost/[/url] As to the Lee Load All, they are cheap and clunky. The price reflects this. I personally would buy a used MEC 650 JR if you want a single stage press. They BLOW the Lee Load Alls out of the water and can be had for $100 or less used. I reload shot shell on a Hornady 366 with auto indexing and I have to say that once you are dropping a finshed shell out with every handle pull it makes you spoiled and do not want to go back to a single stage press. for those nay sayers, I reload a bunch of 20ga shells, over 500 a month for skeet. I also have a source for for premium hulls (Remington STS and Win AA) if you need some. EDIT: I just did a quick calculation using Clays powder (18.0 gr), Win 209 primers, Claybuster wad, and 1 oz. of lead and your cost to reload a box of shells, not including the hull cost, is $4.39 a box plus tax on your components, this does not include any hazmat fees if you order online.
